## Review summary

Users praise Twitter Stress Reduction for making Twitter more bearable by muting keywords, trends, and other noise, leading to a calmer, more readable feed. They value automatic filtering features and its ability to adapt to changing algorithms. The add-on is easy to use and described as essential for a stress-free experience, with regular updates showing active maintenance. However, persistence-related bugs are repeatedly reported: settings and typed keywords sometimes reset (especially on mobile), and there are UI glitches such as the image-collapse button displaying incorrectly. Language-related issues with the sensitive-image feature in English UI have also been noted.
