Works nicely but my request would be to hide "❤ {User} liked" as well as "{User} received a reply" tweets from the feed. This is my primary gripe with Twitter: Tweets that people I follow 'liked' or that someone replied to, and that then show up in my feed.

If you add the ability to get rid of "❤ {User} liked" and "{User} received a reply" type tweets from my feed I'd be more than happy to give 5 stars! :)

EDIT in response to the developer response: Your complaint about "You are essentially pressuring me to provide you more of my time and energy." sounds really aggressive and overblown in a way that I don't think my review warranted. I was trying to provide a constructive suggestion on what this extension would need for me to deem it worthy of being a 5-star extension. We may have differing standards on what warrants a 5-star review where you think an extension that delivers what it promises automatically deserves 5 stars. Using language like "How could you ever consider it appropriate to hold hostage a good rating" sounds more inappropriate to me than my review which was made in good faith.

How could you ever consider it appropriate to hold hostage a good rating in exchange for a feature that this extension never promised? The extension either serves its purpose as listed in the description, or it doesn't.

This is an extension built and offered for free. I don't have to do this. I chose to because it is a nice thing to do for others like you. Yet somehow, a few people feel entitled to more. You are essentially pressuring me to provide you more of my time and energy. I develop features as I see a personal need for them and then generously offer them to others to use if they find them useful.

Comments like these make life unnecessarily difficult for open-source and free software developers.

    Didn't care about any option but "hide retweets", and this feature just doesn't work. Hopped into a user's twitter profile and retweets were still visible.

    Quintessential add-on.

    Absolutely fantastic App, that does exactly what I want it to. I just wish it worked for android Firefox as well. Twitter app has been getting worse and worse lately, and it'd be nice to have an alternative while on the go. Highly recommend.

    This is great! I like to use Twitter as a tool for reading up on trends related to topics I'm interested in. This extension is great because I can focus on finding the information I want without the distraction of vanity metrics. My only ask of the developer is that you add an option to allow us to remove the "For you" tab. Otherwise this is a great extension, thanks!

    Updated 1/15: even with version 2.1.2, I still have promoted tweets showing. I appreciate you following up on the issue. I am happy to update my review when promoted tweets are blocked. This has been an issue for me since October. I posted the issue on github back in October.

    Promoted tweets are not being blocked. This has been an issue for a few months now.

    Fixed in version 2.1.2. Will you also update your review accordingly?

    Update 1/16: The extension was updated and tested on the latest Twitter on Firefox and Chrome. See if this works:

    1) check to ensure that the setting to hide promoted tweets is on
    2) refresh the page if the extension was installed while viewing open Twitter pages
    3) as a last resort, try removing and reinstalling the extension

    If none of these things work, Twitter may be offering you a different version of its code (through A/B testing) that I don't get so I can't test. Unlikely, but possible.

    Promoted tweets are no longer being blocked but everything appears to be working.

    Edit: Thank you for continuing to work on your plugin, still the best plugin for Twitter imo.

    Removes the "whats going on" crap, as well as other crap. It takes slightly longer to load a bunch of tweets, but it works!

    Feels real nice not to get my brain beaten to a pulp by overstimulation on Twitter
  • ruma ZephyFoxy, 3 tahun yang lepas
    Sometime this week the option to hide "Trends for you" now hides the ENTIRE side bar, such as whether or not I'm following an account, and the search box is gone.

    Edit: 06/03/2022: Dev has resolved the issue, works perfectly again!

    Works as advertised and the dev works hard to maintain it. It stays out of the way and gets Twitter's unwanted features out of the way too.

    The "Hide promoted tweets" work only with English language interface.

    I've tried several of these addons, and they just don't do any of the things they claim.
