- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 11230772, 4 years agoI've tried several of these addons, and they just don't do any of the things they claim.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14130685, 4 years agoVery good but the 'Topics to follow' is still annonying

- Rated 5 out of 5by Wescyde, 4 years agoWorks pretty great so far... could you please add "Topics to follow" also to the blocked features list? Thanks

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12344652, 4 years agoI'm LOVING this app. INstalled it about a month ago and it's worked perfectly. BUT, for the past 3 days my feed has been out of order. I'm wondering if Twitter is making adjustments to counter this?
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16780570, 4 years agoGreat app and prevents you from dealing with the trends on twitter that seem to always be happening!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Chris Peterson, 4 years agoThis "Better Twitter" extension makes Twitter much less distracting and more usable. Thanks to this extension, I now prefer to read Twitter in Firefox on my laptop over the Twitter app on my phone!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Aadil Ayub, 4 years agoThis extension lets you use Twitter without losing your sanity. 10/10 recommended.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Sheng, 4 years agoWho knew that blocking ads and some numbers would make twitter ui so much better?
- Rated 5 out of 5by shane, 4 years agoReally nice and easy add-on that does what it says. Would love an option to individually turn on/off number of tweet likes, retweets, and replies. Mainly useful so I know if there are replies to a tweet. Also, quote retweet numbers are also still there (when you click on a tweet).

- Rated 5 out of 5by Lilacs Doom, 4 years agoIt's a simple add-on, but the implications of it are huge. It makes browsing Twitter a much better experience and points out external/sponsored information (literally the stuff that siphons our attention away). THANK YOU, Razvan, you've saved me a lot of time and energy. I hope more people realize what exists beyond the ads.

posted 4 years agoThank you for the kind words, Lilacs Doom! I'm glad the extension helps you. - Rated 5 out of 5by Julionn, 4 years agoWorks perfectly, though I would like to see an option to make icons square

- Rated 3 out of 5by crsfnr, 4 years agoWorks 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.Developer response
posted 4 years agoHow 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.

Can I make a request? I would like to have an option to hide answers (only show the first post of a thread) and I would like to hide tweets that only contain text.Developer response

Please, make "hide likes", "hide retweets" and "hide replies" separately. I don't want to see likes and retweets, but I want to know, if my friends replied me, so I want to see replies. It would really help me!
But still, good extension! - Rated 5 out of 5by Édouard Lopez, 4 years ago
