Over the last week a new redesign has been rolled out across Twitter for desktop, with the new user interface mimicking the mobile version.

The website is plagued on the two sides with sticky banner sized menus which in no way improves the site's functionality.

The threaded view has lost its charm as each new threaded tweet opens in a new window without the original overlay leading to a more complicated and clunky experience, often leading to a drop in interest to finish reading a threaded tweet.

Every major Twitter redesign in the past has improved the user experience except this. Websites undergoing redesigns is natural, but to force a redesign is bad.

If anything Twitter should take a leaf out of Reddit's 2018 redesign and maintain a parallel website with the old design like Reddit did with old.reddit.com. The users deserve to opt-out of the new design.
