- 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 5 out of 5by Marina, 4 years agoIt's really good!
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

The new Twitter interface (circa 2019) uses auto-generated markup
with obfuscated class names which are not guaranteed to be stable over time.
In order to remove unwanted parts of the UI when they appear,
we use CSS selectors in the stylesheet (content.css) to identify
areas of interest, then apply a short fake animation to them.
Here in JavaScript, we listen for all `animationstart` events, check if they match
one of the areas of interest (`AnimationEvent.target` points to the element matched
by the CSS seletor), then mark the target element or one of its ancestors. This marker
then causes a CSS selector from content.css to match and hide the intended element.
This is a convoluted but viable workaround for missing ancestor selectors in CSS.

I used to use Stylus/Stylish filter to achieve my intentions, which are closely the same as what this addon does. However, since the major change introduced in this spring, my solution no longer works. I looked for a working addon to get the same result, but there seemed to be none.
Then, a few months later, I finally found this addon. This method (quoted above as comment) is brilliant!Developer response

- Rated 5 out of 5by Mark M, 5 years agoI downloaded this to block out the "trends for you" section, and it did it automatically without any problems. Very impressed!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Matheus, 5 years agoworks with the exception of hide ''trends of you'', which is essential for me to be permanently rid off.

posted 5 years agoCan you share the circumstances in which this happens?
The "Hide trends for you" option is tested to work on the English version of the twitter.com website.
