Features & Capabilities

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.

Is Control Panel for Twitter Safe?

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.

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.
