# OldTweetDeck
Returns old TweetDeck, for free!
> [!IMPORTANT]
> Do not use Search columns unless you have X Premium subscription.
> If you do search for something (not recommended), remove the column immediately after you're done.
> [!NOTE]
> Since Twitter made likes private, the Likes tab aren't loading anymore.
> This can not be fixed since the API to retrieve the likes is gone. Same thing with Activity column.
> If you're interested in getting 2015-2018 Twitter back, you can also check out [OldTwitter](https://github.com/dimdenGD/OldTwitter) extension.

## Updating
If TweetDeck's files were updated, you should receive updated files automatically without having to reinstall after refreshing tab (unless you set `localStorage.OTDalwaysUseLocalFiles = '1'`).
If extension files were updated, you have to reinstall extension to get new update.
## Better TweetDeck
I've made a fork of BetterTD that works with this extension, you can find it [here](https://github.com/dimdenGD/BetterTweetDeck/releases).
Install it the same way as this extension.
## FAQ
#### Extension stopped working.
Before opening an issue, try to reinstall extension.
#### There is a warning: Manifest version 2 is deprecated, and support will be removed in 2023.
Update to latest OldTweetDeck version.
#### 'Link another account you own' doesn't work.
See https://github.com/dimdenGD/OldTweetDeck/issues/259#issuecomment-2281786253 for a workaround.
#### User or Search column aren't loading for me.
You're getting rate limited. They'll comeback after some time.
#### Likes tab aren't loading for me.
This can not be fixed. Since Twitter made likes private, the API to retrieve likes is gone.
