@furkan,
Gear icon appears normally on my end on macOS. Did this issue just occur or has it always been this way?

Can you also please tell me what version of Linux you’re using when you see this issue?

@furkan,
I’m wondering if it has to do with the flatpak release. Can you try downloading the Beta build via the terminal install instructions and test to see if you get the same behavior on Twitter there?

Note that installing/running the Beta will not interfere with your current installation.

Thank you for testing.
Let me see if I can get some of our Linux folks to test this.

This does appear to be Twitter specific — some team members on our end are also not seeing the icon in either Beta or stable but do see them on other OS. I will dig a bit more on this but I think this is ultimately something Twitter will need to fix on their end.

yes i think this is affected by every chromium based browser on linux. since brave has a verified organization account on x it would be very great if you could contact x about it. thanks a lot

btw just tested changing my user agent to windows chrome and it appeared. its just x missing when request from linux. only issue is how we can let them know about this. its just funny that nobody (all chromium based users) never noticed it. this thread now appears high on google search :moyai:
