User reviews
Users appreciate that the add-on effectively hides Twitter ads and promoted tweets on Firefox, making the platform more usable and less cluttered. However, several users note that it doesn't block promoted content on all platforms, only on PC, which can be misleading given the add-on's name. Additionally, a significant downside is that the add-on breaks the infinite scrolling feature, restricting users to viewing only a single page of tweets. Overall, the extension improves Twitter usability but has notable limitations in blocking scope and scrolling functionality.
Pros
- Effectively removes or hides Twitter ads and promoted content on Firefox, improving usability.
- Provides relief from repetitive promoted tweets, making the Twitter timeline more manageable.
- Improves the overall Twitter browsing experience by reducing unwanted content.
Cons
- Does not actually block promoted accounts on all platforms, only hides promoted tweets on PC, leading to inconsistency.
- Breaks the infinite scroll feature, limiting tweet visibility to one page only.
