Control Panel for Twitter is a powerful Chrome extension designed to put control back into your hands while using Twitter. It defaults your Home timeline to the reverse-chronological "Following" feed, suppressing the algorithmic "For you" timeline to minimize unwanted content. The extension offers extensive customization, letting you hide retweets, quote tweets, and various UI elements such as Twitter Blue features, "Who to follow" recommendations, and distracting sidebar content.

UI enhancements include replacing X branding, restoring classic interaction links, and providing font and button style tweaks to reduce visual clutter. For engagement reduction, it hides tweet metrics and the action bar while allowing replies. Additional features simplify navigation by hiding unused menu items and buttons. With instant application of user preferences, Control Panel for Twitter transforms your Twitter experience into a more focused, personalized, and less distracting environment.

User reviews

Users generally find the add-on excellent for improving Twitter (X.com) experience, appreciating its open-source nature and regular updates. However, common issues include unreliable one-click blocking, disordered replies in notifications, and problems with opening posts in new tabs. Some users also dislike the prominent 'Promote' button added to tweets, which interferes with screenshotting.

Cons

One-click blocking feature works inconsistently and sometimes prompts confirmation pop-ups

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.

Control Panel for 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.

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