Describe the bug So a new close button popup today on the website and it doesn't work, instead of closing the website it redirects the user to the homepage. I know it is not regarding the algorithm but this place seemed appropriated to report a bug issue.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Go to https://www.twitter.com
Click on top left X button
See error

Expected behavior The tab should close, as good UX teach us.

Environment Windows Chrome latest version, also Mac OS and iOS 14 Safari.

I got fed up waiting for a fix so I made a userscript that patches this as a temporary workaround. I haven't been able to test it thoroughly but hopefully someone finds it useful

Twitter is one big bug these days

No solving that one

Can confirm this bug also for Firefox ESR 115 on Debian GNU/Linux 12

Knew this rebrand was going to screw everything over.

Any news about this? I had to shut down my computer in order to leave the site.

I also have the same bug on Chromium 115 since days.

Out of scope This repository covers the recommendation algorithm, not the client UI

Tested, proven workaround: never visit that dumpster fire of a website again. Delete the app too.

Jul 27 '23 18:07 FlipperPA

Can reproduce, on Firefox for Android and Firefox for Fedora Linux and OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.

Jul 27 '23 18:07 Inderix

can confirm for Firefox 115.0.2-1 on Arch Linux x86_64

Also I would like to add that the X logo in the top left is a different font from the official logo

My two cents: maybe someone deployed by mistake the native X.org client app. Would definitely join xeyes and xsnow in the ultimate app package.

Well, we are not handing your machine to all other users tho

I'm having the opposite problem of OP — for the last couple days, my Twitter tabs have had two close buttons. Is it possible that it's related to the same bug?

I've attached a screenshot it case it might be helpful to the developers.
