Hi chocolateboy this works I have a question, links before 2011 on Twitter you were able to click on them but when t.co came in they removed the links for old tweets (https://twitter.com/search?q=i%20liked%20a%20youtube%20video%20until%3A2010-09-06&src=typed_query&f=live) but never added t.co, so you can't click on them. I'm wondering is it possible to get links from 2011 and before to be able to click on them again with a script

Interesting. Haven't seen these before!

It probably wouldn't be hard to implement, but it's out of scope for this script, which only operates on the underlying data (i.e. not in the UI). Plus, they're not t.co links :-)

You can use a userscript/addon which converts text URLs to links, e.g. Linkify Plus Plus (userscript, addon):

Hi thank you. I have a question in this script the links show as purple and have a line underneath them. How can I make the links show as the normal Twitter colour & remove the line, and also exclude all other websites just for this script to run on Twitter.

Hi this script won't work as you can't change the settings on them. So it stays purple with a line underneath links. Do you think you could make a new script for this :)
