Changes the logo, tab name, and naming of "tweets" on Twitter

Yet another userscript that brings back old Twitter. If you like the script, you can like and retweet this tweet or tweet something yourself about the userscript!

See also the userscript Twitter: always Following tab and userstyles Twitter: hide Verified/Premium in sidebar and Twitter: hide Grok in sidebar.

This userscript works even in Firefox for Android! Testing mobile version is hard (desktop's pretend mobile version doesn't match actual mobile version exactly), so fixes when stuff breaks in mobile version are much slower.

Only English language of the interface is supported.

This userscript changes:

'Notifications / Twitter' and 'Jane Doe on Twitter: "hello"'
