| 2024-09-07 |  | | en | Currently, this extension does not work as-is, due to the domain updating from twitter.com to x.com, BUT there is a way to make it work, via a fixed extension from GitHub. See the review by boopidoop for full instructions. Before following the guide, I recommend that you remove the current BlueLiteBlocker extension, as it's not needed for the new extension to work, and since the two icons can easily be confused, making it hard to know (at that point) which one to remove. Then follow the instructions to install the fixed extension. |
| 2024-06-23 |  | | en | Useless for a while now, since it does not work on the "x.com" URLs. Took me 5min to update the app locally, it's a damn shame devs won't do the same, despite people asking for it on the git page. |
| 2024-06-03 |  | | en | Very good extension, but doesn't currently work due to the recent URL change ("twitter.com" -> "x.com") There's currently a GitHub pull request that fixes this, requires manual installation but doesn't have any malicious code in it, just changes all references to "twitter.com" to "x.com" https://github.com/mark-ignacio/BlueLiteBlocker/tree/domain-change Install instructions: 1. Click the link above, then the green "Code" button and "Download ZIP" 2. Unzip the downloaded ZIP file, then navigate to where you unpacked it 3. In the "BlueLiteBlocker" folder, delete "firefox_manifest.json" and rename "chrome_manifest.json" to "manifest.json" (Optional) Open "manifest.json", remove lines 29 to 34 and save the file (these are only used by Firefox, and leaving them in will only produce warnings in Chrome's console but won't actually affect anything) 4. In Chrome, go to "chrome://extensions" (or click the 3 dots in the top right corner, then go to "Extensions" and click "Manage Extensions") 5. Click "Developer Mode" at the top right of the Extensions page, then "Load Unpacked" in the top left 6. In the Explorer window that opens, navigate to where you unpacked the ZIP file, click the "BlueLiteBlocker" folder and click "Select Folder" at the bottom right 7. There should now be two BlueLiteBlocker extensions listed on the page, one with an orange circle overlapping its icon. Find the one without the circle, and click either "Remove" or the small switch on its bottom right corner 8. To test if the updated extension works, find a popular post (eg. one on x.com/ElonMusk, or one on your "Following" or "For You" page with hundreds of replies) and scroll down. If it is still showing users with blue checkmarks, click the extension's icon (top right of the Chrome window, or click on the "Jigsaw Piece" icon and look for it in the list), double check the settings, click "Save Settings", click back on Twitter and hard-refresh the page (Ctrl+F5) |

| 2024-03-08 |  | | en | This extension is pretty much exactly what I wanted. I just wish there was an option for it to show which account the hidden tweet belongs to. |
