How to enable Tweaks for Twitter in Chrome and Chromium browsers

The Tweaks for Twitter browser extension is bundled inside the Mac app. You only need to enable the extension once in your browser, and then it will automatically update along with the Mac App Store app.

The instructions below are for Google Chrome. You would follow similar steps to enable Tweaks for Twitter in another Chromium browser such as Brave, Microsoft Edge, or Vivaldi. The user interface in other browsers may look slightly different, but otherwise the process is the same.

  1. Purchase and install Tweaks for Twitter in the Mac App Store.

  2. Open Google Chrome.

  3. In Chrome, open the "Window" menu in the main menu bar and select "Extensions" from the menu.

If you see an Errors button, don't worry, this is actually just a warning about the deprecated Chrome extension manifest version 2. Tweaks continues to work, and a Tweaks update later in 2022 will adopt the newer Chrome extension manifest version 3.
