Summary

Analyze keywords

Control Panel for Twitter is a browser extension for Twitter - its main goals are to reduce the amount of algorithmic content you see, give you more control over your timeline and make the UI less distracting.

By default, your Home timeline will be the reverse-chronological "Following" timeline, which will only contain tweets and quote tweets from the people you follow. The algorithmic "For you" timeline will be hidden, and Control Panel for Twitter will keep you on "Following" if Twitter tries to automatically take you off it. Everything is configurable, so start by opening the options popup and customizing to your liking. Changes you make in the options will be applied immediately.

Features:

Home timeline

• Defaults to the "Following" (chronological) timeline, automatically switching you back if Twitter tries to move you to the "For you" (algorithmic) timeline • Hide the "For you" timeline tab (default setting) • Move Retweets to a separate tab (default setting), or hide them entirely • Move Quote Tweets and replies to them to a separate tab in the Home timeline, or hide them entirely • Hide Retweets in pinned Lists • Hide tweets quoting accounts you've blocked or muted • Mute quoting of specific tweets - adds a "Mute this conversation" menu item to Quote Tweets in the Home and List timelines

Hello, I hope you're having a splendid day! I am currently seeking opportunities to expand my business operations by investing in extensions with a significant user base, beginning from 50,000 users and up. No matter if your extension has a modest user base or counts its users in the millions, I am interested and ready to negotiate a purchase. If you are in possession of such an extension and looking to turn it into a profit, please consider reaching out to me. We can discuss the price and proceed with a transparent and secure transaction through a trusted escrow service based in the United States. It's great that Google allows the transfer of extension ownership between accounts, so your Google account ownership will remain intact. If you have any needs, please contact us via the following contacts Whatsapp: +1 (248) 896‑8035 Telegram: t.me/harryysandersonn

Great addon. All it's missing is an option to make the main area with tweets a bit wider, as of right now it takes up less than half of the Twitter page and is especially noticeable when you hide all the existing site other clutter using the addon. Still, thank you so much for this!

Since the change to x.com, twitter is automatically displaying the background in "Lights out" mode instead of the default background. Is there a way that you could create some action in either the control panel or sidebar that can allow the option of changing the background without having to go into the settings. Otherwise, everything about this extension has been a god-send. Thanks for your creation and hard work!
