THIS SCRIPT NO LONGER WORKS! Twitter has rolled out a fix for the web client hack. (Original text: Force enable cramming (280 character tweets) on Twitter. Use TamperMonkey. NOTE: Stops working when you switch pages, refresh to fix.)

As of 7 November 2017 everyone has access to 280 characters in supported clients, so you no longer need this script!

Yep, Twitter rolled out a fix. You'll have to try one of the other methods out there to get your tweet on.

Here are some that work for TweetDeck:

Frustrated that like most I was not blessed with the new 280 char tweeting, and the "fixes" out there don't work anymore, I decided to fix :) As as a fully automatic #Greasemonkey #Tampermonkey script here: http://bit.ly/unlock280 Get your #280tweets on while you can! :)

Kickass
