Thanks, I haven't bothered clicking on any twitter links since they started insisting on everyone allowing javascript. nitter.net seems to solve that problem for me :}

  I am glad I could help! If nitter.net itself is not working, you can pick a mirror from this list: https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/wiki/Instances https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/wiki/Instances

  I read twitter without an account. Twitter tries all kinds of things to get me to log in. Now it blocks too much scrolling on a particular person's tweets.

    It's this kind of user-unfriendly design that makes me want to abandon all social media.

Off topic rant, BUT I'm gonna... What is this? Why is it so much faster, and mobile friendly layout than either Twitter.com or their mobile app? And why does Twitter.com spam me with an overlay telling me to use the mobile app before I can see a tweet? Why do they care so much about me using the mobile app that I get spammed everytime I click a twitter.com link, only on mobile?

  Much easier to mine data about people through an app, and also other kinds of stuff that it enables.

    Good lookin' out, thanks Edit: Here's the config I use to twitter -> nitter Redirect: https://twitter.com/\* to: https://nitter.net/$1 Hint: Any word after twitter.com leads to nitter Example:https://twitter.com/some-username → https://nitter.net/some-username Applies to: Main window (address bar), IFrames That got me wondering what other frontends there are for popular sites, and though I don't use reddit, I know a lot of folks do, so this should work for a thing I just found called 'teddit' which is inspired by Nitter Redirect: https://reddit.com/* to: https://teddit.net/$1 Hint: Any word after reddit.com leads to teddit Example: https://reddit.com/u/some-username → https://teddit.net/u/some-username Applies to: Main window (address bar), IFrames

      Here's a great compilation of privacy-preserving, JS-free front-ends for many popular sites like Twitter, Reddit, Youtube, and more: https://github.com/mendel5/alternative-front-ends https://github.com/mendel5/alternative-front-ends
