This project has indeed potential to be super useful, just at this point seems super sketchy:
- There is invisible footer with ton of SEO spam, after "All Rights Reserved © 2024 twstalker.com" (the copyright sign is made by font awesome, what is, in short, wrong as well).
- It tries to load images directly from twimg.com, what is commonly blocked on any third-party site by most privacy protecting browsers, so you to see images on this "privacy protecting" site you have to (ironically) switch off tracking protections.
- CSS is half baked: it starts with syntactically invalid includes of the Roboto font from google fonts (what could be also considered tracking). Because it does not load due invalid syntax, and because it is used as `body { font-family: Roboto !important; }`, page is rendered in default (most probably serif) font. No generic font family fallback as well as !important are red flags.
- There is Google Tag Manager.
- Everything is loaded from various CDNs.
- "Terms of service" page [1] has title "Barack Obama @BarackObama , Twitter Profile - twstalker.com".
