User reviews

Better Twitter is praised for removing clutter and unwanted distractions on Twitter, enhancing user focus and reducing overstimulation. It is well-maintained with responsive developers. However, several users report persistent issues with hiding retweets and promoted tweets, especially in non-English interfaces. Some features like hiding trends and suggestions are inconsistent or temporarily buggy. The add-on currently lacks support for Firefox on Android, limiting mobile usability.

Pros

Effectively removes unwanted Twitter features such as "What's going on", vanity metrics, and clutter, improving user focus.
Helps reduce overstimulation on Twitter, making the experience feel cleaner and less overwhelming.
Developer is responsive and actively maintains the add-on, addressing user issues promptly.
Works as advertised for most functions and stays unobtrusive during use.
Helps users focus on content without distractions from trends, promoted tweets, and suggestions.

Cons

The "hide retweets" feature does not work as intended, with retweets still visible on profiles.
Promoted tweets are often not blocked, especially outside of English language interfaces, leading to persistent ads.
Some features like hiding "Trends for you", "Who to follow", and topics have performance issues or inconsistencies.
The add-on does not work on Firefox for Android, limiting on-the-go use.
Recent updates caused the sidebar to hide more than intended, removing search box and follow info temporarily.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Better Twitter requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Browser Add-ons, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Better Twitter is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
