OP uses JavaScript to remove 'edge-design' class (which contains all changes) from the body.

Is that actually advisable? The same attitude made people stick with Windows XP or Firefox 3.5, don't you think?

It's in the same spirit as:

https://greasyfork.org

https://openuserjs.org

^ Both can be used with Greasemonkey (Firefox) or Tampermonkey (Chrome)

https://userstyles.org (used with Stylish)

For example, there is a reason[1] why round avatars are a bad idea.

Although I must say that twitter.com seems to have improved in terms of keyboard navigation and the visible keyboard focus.

Perhaps if the new UI's actually improved presentation of information rather than being an exercise in aesthetic wankery that makes the site less usable?

Avatars thought to be in a squared container looking bad in a round container... it's logical.
