I've just added this as a "Verified accounts" feature you can toggle on in the options of my Tweak New Twitter extension (v1.23 - Chrome Web Store always takes a while to update): https://github.com/insin/tweak-new-twitter#tweak-new-twitter https://github.com/insin/tweak-new-twitter#tweak-new-twitter If you just want to check how much of your timeline is driven by verified accounts, you can also have them highlighted instead of hidden: https://imgur.com/gallery/lcqq5bq https://imgur.com/gallery/lcqq5bq

Oh hey, thanks for this extension, I swear this extension is the only reason I find Twitter nearly tolerable anymore. (Of course extensions can't fix the toxicity of Twitter itself, but hey.)

Wow! This extension is amazing! I'm the OP that shared the crazy JS script to temporarily delete/hide tweets from verified users. I just installed this extension for Firefox, and it's a breath of fresh air. Thank you! I tried to update my original comment to say > https://github.com/insin/tweak-new-twitter#tweak-new-twitter https://github.com/insin/tweak-new-twitter#tweak-new-twitter does everything I'm suggesting here and better, permanently, etc, go install it but it's too old of a comment to edit.

What stands out to me is how empty Twitter is without all those widgets that exist only to juice engagement. The new much older Twitter-inspired default Mastodon layout is how I wish Twitter still was with sidebar widgets serving function instead of investors. https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2019/06/mastodon-2.9/ https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2019/06/mastodon-2.9/ I don't want a whole column devoted to pushing the latest horrors of the world on me and a bunch of people I don't know or have any interest in following. And that's with ads blocked.

I use this extension everyday. One request is to make center content take full width (since I hide the sidebar and other widgets). Thanks for the extension!

  I created an issue for this with a snippet you can use in your browser console to try it out - what do you think of the resulting size of media tweets? https://github.com/insin/tweak-new-twitter/issues/25 https://github.com/insin/tweak-new-twitter/issues/25
