Block The Blue - Chrome Extension for Blocking Twitter Verified Users

Block The Blue - Twitter Verified Blocker is a Chrome extension that stops Twitter Blue Verified users from appearing on your feed. It does not block organizations, users you follow, or users verified under yellow or grey checkmarks. This tool is especially useful for those who want to avoid celebrity interaction or unwanted blue verified users. Despite slight limitations, such as brief pop-ups when executing a block, 'Block The Blue' remains an effective tool for managing your Twitter interface.

Extension summary

Analyze keywords

This extension will block any Twitter Blue Verified users on Twitter. It ignores organizational verifications, but will otherwise block ANY blue verified users. Inspired by the #BlockTheBlue campaign.

Elon has started giving blue verification to users and celebrities who did not buy it. Sadly, they will still be blocked because it is impossible to know who did and didn't pay. To get around this, the extension only blocks verified users once. If you unblock someone blocked by this extension, they will never be blocked by the extension again.

The extension will not block verified users you follow. The extension will not block yellow checkmarks (organizations). The extension will not block grey checkmarks (politicians).

I doubt the Twitter API would have ever allowed this for long, so this extension directly interacts with Twitter's DOM (Document Object Model). As such, you will briefly see the pop-ups of the blocking interface.

This extension was made late at night, so sorry if there are errors or it goes haywire. Currently, it seems to be working as intended but time will tell.

The maximum accounts that can be blocked on Twitter is 125,000 so its doubtful you will hit that limit anytime soon.

Good luck, happy #BlockTheBlue -ing!

Hey everyone! This tool might not be getting updates anytime soon, so i created a new tool with better functionality. It's called "Block button for X(twitter)" Hope you find it valuable! Give it a shot: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/block-button-for-xtwitter/mfoeckbmbmmifpgdlokmionbblpbcbfh?hl=en-US&utm_source=ext_sidebar

As of 5/28/2024 this extension does not work. Likely because twitter.com auto redirects to x.com. I think this could be a very simple fix on the dev's end.
