If you have a lot of tweets filling your timeline about certain topic or person you are not interested in, this extension is for you.

Features:

  • You can filter out tweets by their contents or by their authors.
  • You can filter out tweets using regular expressions (for example, all words beginning in "auto" using: /\Wauto/)
  • You can save your filter settings as a bookmarklet.
  • The tweets are not deleted but just hidden, so you can get them back any time by disabling the filter or changing the criteria.
  • It supports both the "new" and the "new new" Twitter versions.

Usage details and source code are available in https://github.com/rstuven/OpenTweetFilter/

NOTE: We respect your privacy, so no data is sent to any server. Your filters are stored in your browser local storage (or saved as a bookmarklet) and processed in your own computer.
