The extension is called ‘eight-dollars’ (eight dollars) and can be added to Chrome manually. In this way, users will be able to differentiate the accounts that have a verification for their importance in the social network from those that pay for Twitter Blue.

Elon Musk announced that the Twitter Blue feature would become an account verifier with additional tools in the future. Before that, it only gave some help, such as editing tweets or less advertising to those who paid the US$4. With the purchase of the billionaire, the cost was doubled and its functionality has completely changed. For now, it’s available in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.

LOOK: How much money will the executives that Elon Musk fired from Twitter receive?

The tycoon bought Twitter at the end of October after a long dispute with the previous owners. Musk has paid US$44 billion for the social network and, according to specialized media, he would seek to recover his investment as soon as possible.. Therefore, he is looking to quickly monetize on the platform.

Also, after the entry of Musk there were radical changes in the company. The billionaire fired important executives and, a week later, almost 50% of the workers of the social network were also fired, despite the fact that the now CEO of Twitter had assured that he would not fire anyone.
