Return Twitter Tweet Source
Return from what Twitter client a tweet was published
What is Return Twitter Tweet Source?
Return Twitter Tweet Source is an Edge add-on that allows you to uncover the Twitter client from which a tweet was published. Despite Twitter removing this feature, the add-on utilizes the Twitter API to retrieve the information. Please note that protected tweets and Twitter circle tweets cannot be accessed due to API restrictions.

Summary
Recently Twitter removed from what client a tweet was published from (e.g. "Twitter for Android"), a.k.a source. I noticed it's still there in the Twitter API, so I had the idea to make this addon.
Bugs:
- Cannot get protected tweets and Twitter circle tweets status due to the Twitter API (returns a 403 HTTP status)
Safety
Risk impact
Return Twitter Tweet Source is risky to use as it requires a number of sensitive permissions that can potentially harm your browser and steal your data. Exercise caution when installing this add-on. Review carefully before installing. We recommend that you only install Return Twitter Tweet Source if you trust the publisher.
Risk likelihood
Return Twitter Tweet Source has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
