When I removed the "mobile" it looks exactly the same. I guess there is no non-mobile version of Twitter anymore.

There’s a super-fast, no bullshit, mobile-friendly, absolutely wonderful version of twitter you can get if you disable javascript... (i’ve only used it through tor tho)

I'm not sure about "super-fast" since, every time I visit twitter w/o JavaScript, I'm forced to click thru the message:

We've detected that JavaScript is disabled in your browser. Would you like to proceed to legacy Twitter?

And this annoyance persists. Click on a twitter link within the twitter website and you get the message again. And again. It's definitely a dark pattern meant to annoy you into enabling JavaScript.

no, it's likely you're either on a mobile device or your cookies are set so that it's redirecting you to it. the non-mobile version works fine and is clearly different.

Not anymore, that’s the new layout.

I still see the old (superior) layout when I use an incognito window, so I guess the new version is being tested or rolled out gradually.

Interesting, I've never noticed that.
