  • control-panel-for-twitter

    Browser extension which gives you more control over your Twitter timeline and adds missing features and UI improvements - available for desktop and mobile browsers

  • > Prioritising the replies of people who pay money for it was a body blow

    A Twitter reply thread will only load around 200 Tweets in total, so on Tweets which have a lot of engagement, it's more likely that your reply will never be seen even if you paid, which defeats their whole purpose for ruining reply threads as a selling point. Just an incredibly short-sighted change.

    My browser extension for Twitter [0] can hide replies from "verified" users - if you look at any Elon Musk tweet with this feature enabled, you'll be lucky if you see more than 1 reply.

    Quote Tweets are where it's at now if you want to find comments on busy tweets which aren't Twitter Blue user posting multiple cry-laugh emojis, and they've recently made those take multiple clicks to access, from one of 2 different menus (my extension also restores the old Quote Tweets link).

  • > think they don't support plain wireguard/openvpn from CLI, you're stuck with a client not available for your officially supported OS...

    This is possible, I had good results with https://github.com/NilsIrl/MozWire
