I added two extensions that made Twitter 10x better: 1) Minimal Twitter, 2) Bot Sentinel.
Minimal Twitter lets me disable all advertisements, all topics, have a chronological feed, etc. Each of these things is individually toggleable so if you want topics but want to get rid of everything else, you can. It also makes the UI much better.
Bot Sentinel makes it easy for me to unfollow people who are constantly liking, retweeting, or replying to disruptive/misinformation accounts, or when they themselves drift into that area. It's not perfect. Completely normal, kind accounts who happen to be politically active and on the more conservative side will often have a higher disruption/bot score despite never doing anything disruptive themselves. I assume it's some NLP algo in the background lumping them in with the crazy misinfo bots based on some words in their tweets but really who knows.
