- Rated 1 out of 5by Sir_Jimmothy, 6 months agoDidn'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.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Saplingbat, 2 years agoAbsolutely 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.

- Rated 5 out of 5by detepavidson, 2 years agoThis 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!
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 17303515, 2 years agoUpdated 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.Developer response
posted 2 years agoFixed 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. - Rated 5 out of 5by Eason Wong, 2 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17675461, 2 years agoPromoted 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. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15163168, 2 years agoRemoves the "whats going on" crap, as well as other crap. It takes slightly longer to load a bunch of tweets, but it works!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Morbiux, 2 years agoFeels real nice not to get my brain beaten to a pulp by overstimulation on Twitter
- Rated 5 out of 5by ZephyFoxy, 2 years agoSometime 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! - Rated 5 out of 5by BoxeeFXt, 2 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by I am the Carl, 3 years agoWorks 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.
- Rated 3 out of 5by denis1276, 3 years agoThe "Hide promoted tweets" work only with English language interface.
