Auto FxTwitter

A simple browser extension that seamlessly converts twitter.com/x.com to fxtwitter.com when copying links on X (Twitter). Useful when you want to share the post with preview (e.g. on Discord).

Features

This extension automatically converts twitter.com/x.com to fxtwitter.com when copying links on X (Twitter).

Tip

You can change the replacing domain (default: fxtwitter.com) by clicking the extension icon in the toolbar. For example, you can change it to fixupx.com or vxtwitter.com.

It will convert links when:

  • You click the share button -> Copy link.
  • You press Ctrl + C without selecting text in a post. (It will copy the converted link of the post.)

Important

It does not convert links when you copy links from the address bar directly, as it is a limitation of browser extensions for security reasons.

Installation

Note

This extension is planned to be published on the Chrome Web Store, but it is not there yet.

Note

Tested on Opera GX. However, this method does not work on some browsers, including Chrome, Edge, and more.

  • Load the extension through developer mode:

    1. Clone this repository.
    2. Go to chrome:https://extensions (or your browsers' extension page) and enable developer mode.
    3. Click Load unpacked and select the auto-fxtwitter folder in the cloned repository.

Note

You have to select the auto-fxtwitter folder in the repository, not the repository itself.
If you are using firefox, you have to delete the manifest.json and rename manifest-firefox.json to manifest.json before loading the extension.

Usage

The extension will start working automatically in the background after installation. Copy a post link from X (Twitter) and paste it somewhere to see the magic.
