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.
