Tweak New Twitter is a browser extension which removes algorithmic content from Twitter, hides news and trends, lets you control which shared tweets appear on your timeline, and adds other UI improvements

• Install Firefox Extension
• Install Chrome Extension – can also be installed in Edge, Opera, and Brave
• Install Edge Add-on - any recent changes to the extension usually take longer to appear in the Edge Add-ons store
• Install as a user script (requires a user script manager) – compatible with the Userscripts extension for Safari

As of v2.0, Tweak New Twitter supports the mobile version of Twitter and is tested on Firefox for Android, but Mozilla Add-ons currently only lets you install a small, curated list of extensions on Android.

For now, to use Tweak New Twitter on your Android device:

• Install Firefox for Android Nightly
• Follow these instructions to enable Custom Add-on collections:
  • TL;DR: Settings → About Firefox Nightly → Tap on the Firefox logo 5 times
• In the "Custom Add-on collection" setting which is now available, enter the following details and tap "OK":
  • 13844640
  • Android-Collection

You'll now be able to install Tweak New Twitter via the Add-ons page.

If you open mobile.twitter.com and use the "Install" option in Firefox Nightly's main menu, you'll have a configurable (via Firefox Nightly's Add-ons settings), user-respectful Twitter app on your phone.

• Keeps you on the Following (chronological) timeline, automatically switching you back if Twitter tries to move you to the "For you" (algorithmic) timeline
• Hide the "For you" timeline tab
• Hide "Who to follow", "Follow some Topics" etc. in the timeline
• Hide "What's happening", "Topics to follow" etc. in the sidebar
• Hide "Discover more" algorithmic tweets when viewing an individual tweet
• Hide algorithmic tweets based on likes, replies, communities, and suggested topics in the "For you" timeline, if you use it
• Hide Explore page contents and use it only for searching

• Move Retweets to a separate tab (default setting), or hide them entirely
• Move Quote Tweets and replies to them to a separate tab, or hide them entirely (off by default)
• Hide tweets quoting accounts you've blocked or muted
• Mute quoting of specific tweets - adds a "Mute this conversation" menu item to Quote Tweets in the timeline

• Hide view metrics/analytics links under tweets
• Disable use of the Chirp font if you don't like it
• Replace (default setting) or hide Twitter Blue user checkmarks so they're not as easily mistaken for verified accounts
• Hide the "Verified" tab on the Notifications page
• Uninvert the Follow and Following buttons to make them less jarring
  • Choice of monochrome or themed (classic) styling for uninverted buttons
• Use the site's normal text font style in the primary navigation menu on desktop to make it less distracting
• Use normal font weight in dropdown menus
• Fast blocking - skips the confirm dialog when you try to block an account
• Add a new item to the "More" menu (desktop) or slide-out menu (mobile) which takes you straight to the "Add muted word" page
• When viewing a tweet's Quote Tweets, hide the quoted tweet to make more room for quotes
• Hide "Open app", "Switch to the app" etc. nags on mobile

• Hide any metrics you don't want to see
• Hide navigation items you don't use on desktop, and other distracting screen elements such as the account switcher and Messages drawer
• Hide the bottom nav item for Messages on mobile if you don't use it
• Hide items you don't use in the "More" menu (desktop) or slide-out menu (mobile)

Optional features you can try, to see how they change how you perceive and use Twitter:

• Reduced interaction mode: hide the action bar under tweets – replies are now the only means of interacting
• Full-width timeline content: hide the sidebar and let timeline content go full-width
• Verified accounts: highlight tweets by – or interacting with – verified accounts, or hide them to simulate the aftermath of the July 2020 Twitter hacks
• Disable the home timeline: find yourself wasting too much time on Twitter? Try preventing use of the home timeline, going to Notifications or Messages by default instead
