- 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
- Rated 1 out of 5by Gitano, 4 years agoDoes NOT block promoted twets so its 100% useless to me. Maybe cause iread twiter feed as spanish so its "Promocionado" instead of "Promoted"
Developer response
posted 4 years agoGiving a 1-star review without first trying to ask a question or open a bug isn't really nice, is it?
This is someone's free work that you're thrashing carelessly.
Hiding promoted tweets should work in any language.
Some features don't work when the site is used in any other than English. This is a limitation described here: https://github.com/oslego/better-twitter/issues/3
If something doesn't work, please be a good citizen and file a bug: https://github.com/oslego/better-twitter/ - Rated 5 out of 5by tremault, 4 years ago
