Tweak New Twitter Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• We Don’t Need a New Twitter

  While I realize this does nothing for mobile (RIP third-party clients), Control Panel for Twitter [1] has been nice for me to use as a browserscript. Defaults/hides "For You" and tweaks a bunch of other stuff (hideable trends, etc). [1]: https://github.com/insin/control-panel-for-twitter. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Is there a app or plugin to block out the "for you" tab?

  Idk for mobile, but for desktop - one such example. Source: 10 months ago

  Open Twitter from desktop browser only and use an extension to tailor your experience. Source: 10 months ago

• I need to take a break from twitter. I've seen too much.

  Install the Control Panel extension to banish that shit. No "for you" feed. For the love of God, no trending topics. Read stuff from the people you follow and nowhere else. Source: 11 months ago

• Seriously how do I stop all this rubbish I have no interest in from polluting my twitter feed. like 9 in a row?

• For your next side project, make a browser extension

  I love the section on "Earning the pixels", as this is something I also put a lot of time into in extensions, from the target site itself to the options page in my extensions having per-browser CSS to make sure it fits in with the browser's own options UI (and in light and dark mode). With Twitter, earning the pixels in the site UI is even more fraught as it's a React Native for Web app, so you really don't want... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

  Yeah, regular Twitter is annoying, but that's easily fixed. I also block its ads, so using it costs Musk money. Source: over 1 year ago

• Twitter makes it harder to choose the old reverse-chronological feed

  Tweak New Twitter [1] can already handle automatically keeping you on Latest Tweets and hiding the new tabs, even if Latest Tweets is "unpinned" [2] (as long as the implementation hasn't changed significantly since the last A/B test they did on web) [1] https://github.com/insin/tweak-new-twitter#tweak-new-twitter. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Goodbye, Fleets

  If you're using Twitter on a desktop browser, I made an extension which by default removes everything but what the people you're following are actually saying or commenting on, and automatically switches you back to the chronological timeline when Twitter tries to move you back to the algorithmic timeline: https://github.com/insin/tweak-new-twitter#tweak-new-twitter. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• green on Twitter, "no, the FSD Beta slipping because they run out of compute on a single node, but doing two nodes is much harder than everything running locally."

  Tip: if you're on Desktop, use the Tweak New Twitter extension. It removes "more tweets", suggested bullshit and every other "growth hack" Twitter tries to force on you. Source: almost 3 years ago

  Apart from the last one, and retweets are low-effort so they're hidden by default too: https://github.com/insin/tweak-new-twitter#tweak-new-twitter. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago
