  I don't have a twitter account, but I can read everything just fine. Sometime twitter is poping a "login to continue" crap, but by using zapper from uBlock Origin I just shed that crap away and I can continue scrolling.

    That seems to depend on how often you click such links, or something else I haven't thought of. I used to have your experience. Now I just get a person's profile pic and a logon prompt. If I uBlock zap that, there's nothing accessible behind it.

      Same. My theory is ... well I don't have a good theory on this. I think maybe links to a specific thread are not blocked. Links to a person (to just browse) get blocked.

      I should've mention that I also have NoScript and I am using Firefox, if that may of help to you. NoScript has google tag manager, google adsense and a few other stuff related to both google and amazon blocked always. As for how often I open twitter links, is as often as they make it to HN front page. So something along of one twitter link around every 2 days.

    Apart from a guarantee of no such annoying popups, Nitter also always loads significantly faster than Twitter for me; and I much prefer its visual design for actually reading things, makes it much easier to focus on the content.
