Review Summary

Users appreciate Eight Dollars for reinstating legacy verification badges and distinguishing them from paid ones, which enhances Twitter navigation. The developer is responsive to updates, especially after platform changes. However, a common issue is that private or locked accounts are often wrongly tagged as paid, leading to confusion. The extension also periodically becomes nonfunctional after Twitter's domain and UI updates, requiring timely fixes. Other minor problems include occasional misclassification of verified organizations and malfunctioning optional features. Overall, the extension remains valuable but needs updates to maintain accuracy and functionality.

Pros

  • Effectively distinguishes between legacy verified and paid accounts, helping users identify authentic verification.
  • Provides value in navigating Twitter by clarifying account statuses amidst recent changes.
  • Responsive developer who updates the extension following platform changes such as URL redirects.
  • Brings back legacy verification badges that Twitter no longer shows.
  • Includes useful features like custom labels ('chad' and 'loser') to categorize accounts.

Cons

  • Incorrectly marks private/locked accounts as paid, causing confusion and misidentification.
  • Stops working after Twitter's transition to the 'x.com' domain or other platform updates until developer patches it.
  • Fails to differentiate between genuine verified accounts (e.g., government or news organizations) and paid blue check accounts at times.
  • Comic sans feature and other optional features occasionally malfunction or are missing.
  • Can stop working when switching between user profiles or after platform updates.
