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

(e.g. type "twitter" in the search box, click on the people section to only show accounts, the add-on then force hides everything on the page that is an account, but because of that it seems to create an infinite loop of search for accounts and hide accounts which makes the page reload constantly)
Edit: to clarify, i dont want the add-on to hide accounts in the people section of search, its counter productive to deliberately search for a specific account and the add-on hiding search results. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 15174618, 4 years agoBetter Twitter Had blocked recommendations for Who To Follow. As of today 7/25/2020 Now have on R side "Relevant people" showing instead... No way to block. How do I block this now ? DRIVES ME CRAZY> Hope update to address coming soon. I am running latest versions of FireFox, Twitter and Better Twitter
7/26/20 Update: Deleted and Re-installed , as soon as you click on a Twitter entry to read it more. up pops "Relevant people" to follow again... with no way to remove it or close it out w/o restarting Twitter... FRUSTRATINGDeveloper response
posted 4 years agoTwitter does a lot of A/B testing. I am not seeing the "Relevant people" sidebar to test.
Please try again with the latest version (2.0) of this extension. It changes the way items are detected and perhaps it matches the sidebar element you want to hide.
If not, please file a bug on https://github.com/oslego/better-twitter/issues
