Features & Capabilities

2019-07-23: lessnoise doesn't (yet) work with the recently updated Twitter web UI. So far only the hiding of trends, "who to follow"-box, and sidebar footer works.

lessnoise lets you filter your Twitter timeline and improves Twitter's web UI.

Available filters:

#example filters out all tweets tagged with "example"
@example filters out all tweets mentioning user "example"
example filters out all tweets containing the text "example"
block @example filters out all tweets from user "example"
retweets from @example filters out all retweets from "example"
arabic characters, chinese characters, and japanese characters filter out all tweets containing Arabic, Chinese, or Japanese characters, respectively

You can add the filters manually via the filter sidebar, or via the filter menu available below each tweet.

UI improvements:

hides "Who to follow" box
hides trends box
hides sidebar footer
hides promoted tweets
expands URLs

User Reviews

Only partially working for me - it doesn't hide promoted Tweets 28/4/19 Firefox 66.0.3. Also can't see menu, sidebar or any way to manually add filters? **edit - I'm not seeing any plus below my profila or 'filter' entry below any tweet. I've tried disabling all other add-ons but it's still not working. Trends, who to follow, footer all showing no matter what setting I have them on.

Is lessnoise 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.

lessnoise requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.

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 Add-ons Store, 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.

lessnoise is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.

Risk likelihood analysis details
