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).
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 + Cwithout 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.
