Review summary

Red Block is a helpful Firefox add-on for batch blocking or muting Twitter accounts, enabling users to manage spam and unwanted interactions efficiently. Users appreciate its flexible targeting and straightforward interface. However, it often hits limitations due to Twitter's API restrictions, such as blocking caps around 500 accounts per session and risk of forced logout or suspensions. Many report the add-on has stopped working following Twitter's domain changes and API updates, with the developer ceasing maintenance. Random errors and unreliability persist, diminishing its usefulness over time.

Pros

Effectively blocks or mutes groups of Twitter accounts, especially useful for handling spam or unwanted followers.
Allows batch blocking or muting of up to 500 accounts per session, aiding in bulk account management.
Provides targeting based on followers, followed accounts, or tweet reactions, offering flexible blocking options.
User interface is generally well-designed and accessible when connected.
Works as a successor to previous similar tools and helps with handling politically charged or spam-heavy Twitter notifications.

Cons

Stopped working due to Twitter's API restrictions and changes, including Twitter's rebranding to x.com causing failures.
Limited to blocking around 500 users per session; attempting to block more causes logout or account suspension risks.
Inconsistent reliability with blocking large accounts or full follower lists; may require multiple runs to block all desired accounts.
Errors and bugs occur randomly with certain users, causing failures or error messages during blocking attempts.
Development has been discontinued, so no updates to address issues like x.com support or API changes. Users experience the add-on becoming nonfunctional over time.
