I still won't bother. No matter how fast of a computer you use, Twitter is annoyingly slow to load and seems to leak memory if you scroll too far.

- CyanBird 4y agoMy most despised (feature) of Twitter on desktop is that purposeful delay to alerts, where it blinks for a splitsecond and then the little colored alert icon disappears for a solid 3 to 5 seconds only to appear again this time correctly and permanently It is just so annoying that they would do such a thing, I am sure that they have a/b tested it, I don't care it drives me insane, just make it work properly tho I am sure that they have also taken onto account people like me whom despise it, yet not enough to leave the platform Just an overall worsening of user experience
- DominikPeters 4y agoI always thought this is a bug!
- lupire 4y agoYou give them away too much credit for intent and competence. They probably have a fast alert based on some cache, and a real alert that takes longer to fetch the real data.
- jacobolus 4y agoTry nitter.net, an alternate Twitter front-end that is much less gimmicky and uses dramatically less resources with fewer UI glitches, while also doing a better job of presenting 'threads' of tweets.
