Control Panel for Twitter автор Jonny Buchanan

Control Panel for Twitter is a browser extension for Twitter - its main goals are to reduce the amount of algorithmic content you see, give you more control over your timeline and make the UI less distracting.

By default, your Home timeline will be the reverse-chronological "Following" timeline, which will only contain tweets and quote tweets from the people you follow. The algorithmic "For you" timeline will be hidden, and Control Panel for Twitter will keep you on "Following" if Twitter tries to automatically take you off it. Everything is configurable, so start by opening the options popup and customizing to your liking. Changes you make in the options will be applied immediately.

Control Panel for Twitter can be used in Firefox Beta on Android

1. Install Firefox Beta from the Play Store
2. Go to Settings → About Firefox Beta and tap on the Firefox logo 5 times to enable debug settings
3. Now go to Settings → Advanced settings → Custom Add-on collection
4. Enter the following collection details and tap "OK" (or create your own collection if you're logged into Firefox Add-ons):
   • 13844640
   • Android-Collection
5. The browser will restart - you can now install Control Panel for Twitter via the Add-ons menu item

Home timeline

• Defaults to 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 (default setting)
• Move Retweets to a separate tab (default setting), or hide them entirely
• Move Quote Tweets and replies to them to a separate tab in the Home timeline, or hide them entirely
• 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 Home and List timelines

• Full-width timeline: hide the sidebar and let timeline content go full-width on Home, Lists and Communities

UI improvements

• Hide Views under tweets
• Hide the "Verified" tab on the Notifications page
• Replace Twitter Blue checkmarks with the Blue logo so they're not as easily mistaken for verified accounts, or hide them altogether

• Toggle Retweets in Lists - adds a "Turn off Retweets" menu item to Lists

UI tweaks

Reduce "engagement"

• Hide metrics
