Extension summary

Update 1.1.1: Extension broke when using default BG color due to Twitter update, now fixed. Github source: https://github.com/FlashTrance/Twitter-Timeline-Fixer

By default, Twitter shows you a variety of Tweets that do not directly pertain to the people you are following. From showing what the users you follow "Like", to popping up with a Tweet letting you know that some random person you've never talked to in your life has just commented on a post of someone you follow, Twitter's timeline can certainly be a messy, frustrating experience at times.

And the worst part is, there's no way to turn these Tweets off... until now, that is...

Twitter Timeline Fixer is an extension that allows you to toggle these random Tweets on and off. You can show/hide 5 types of Tweets:

  1. "Liked" - Tweets that users you follow have liked
  2. "Reply" - Replies by random people on posts of users you follow
  3. "Followed By" - Tweets by people who are followed by users you follow, but who you don't follow personally (confounding, I know)
  4. "Follow Topic" - Tweets recommending you to follow a topic, like "Drawing" or "Cycling"
  5. "Retweets" - Tweets that users you follow have retweeted

Does what it says, though it won't save my settings for some reason, so every time I reload the browser I have to re-enable "Hide Retweets". If it would save the settings it'd be 5 stars.
