## Description

Minimal X gives you full control over the X/Twitter interface. Remove distractions, clean up the layout and make the feed work the way you want.

<strong>Auto-Translate</strong>
Foreign language tweets are automatically translated to English inline,  no right-clicking, no translating the whole page. A small badge shows the source language flag. Click it to toggle back to the original anytime. Choose from three badge styles and customize the colors.

<strong>Download Videos</strong>
Hover over any video and a download button appears in the top-right corner. Click it and it downloads with a live progress ring showing the current percentage. There's also a toggle in the popup under the Language section to turn it on or off.

<strong>Image OCR Translate</strong>
Hover over any tweet image to reveal a translate button. It reads the text in the image and translates it to English instantly, great for screenshots, memes, and foreign-language posts.

<strong>Timeline</strong>
Adjust the feed width from 600–900px. Toggle the sticky "For You / Following" header. Lock the feed to always show the Following tab.

<strong>Remove Distractions</strong>
Hide view counts, like/retweet numbers, tweet borders, the Grok drawer, the Subscribe button, promoted tweets, and more.

<strong>Right Sidebar</strong>
Hide the entire sidebar or selectively remove: search, trends, "Who to Follow", premium upsell, and footer links.

<strong>Left Navigation</strong>
Always show labels, show on hover, or hide them entirely. Center nav items vertically. Hide any nav items you don't use: Grok, Premium, Lists, Jobs, Communities, Creator Studio, and more. Fast-block accounts without the confirm dialog. Add a quick Mute Word shortcut directly to the nav.
