PC World – December 2015

Well, that was then. Now,
anyone who can’t accept
Twitter’s hearts can return
to the old school stars, at
least on Chrome. A quick
and easy Chrome extension
called Fav Forever (go.pc
world.com/favforever) lets
die-hard star fans return to
the old way of doing things.
Once you install the
extension it may take a few
refreshes until the hearts are banished from whence they came.
Fav Stars doesn’t just return the star to its (purportedly) rightful
place. Your notifications tab will also show people favoriting your
posts instead of liking them.
Unfortunately, Fav Star’s little lie only affects the web version of
Twitter. On mobile, you’ll still have to deal with the hearts of millions
of Twitter users unless you can find a third-party client willing to
fight the good fight for a starry future.

heart icon
