What does this have to do with privacy? It’s just a userscript to modify the regular Twitter website with all its human rights abuse.
It could function as a nicotine patch for people who have a Schüllian obsession with Twitter.
Description: twitter with no timeline, no likes, no retweets, no buttons, nothing. just the tweets.
Notes: i made this because i wanna see tweets people link, but i don’t want an account, but i have to create one to see them.
Looks cool, going to give it a try
Stop caring about what people post on twitter.
true but sometimes a news article or some service will link to a tweet and i have to use the godawful website client
I personally just don’t bother if that is the case ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It sort of looks nice but it doesn’t seem to work very much. Any links I click on a twitter page do nothing but bring up a login form. Sometimes it comes up first, obscuring the content, even if I don’t click any links. I’m considering putting in a redirect rule to send every twitter link here instead.
From the description I think it still requires an account, just transforms the webpage into a read-only one
Yeah, I guess so. So it’s not a replacement for Nitter. I’m sure two or three people will have a use for it, difficult though it is to imagine anyone signing up for a Twitter account in 2024.
I’ve only used Nitter in the past to read the status of a page of someone on Twitter. Sadly lots of people and organizations are still sitting on their Twitter account :( Some open source projects still use their Twitter account as their main communication tool (VLC being a recent example) to the rest of the world. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39789300 With this Userstyle I could see the timeline of an account today, without needing a Twitter account and it being clutter free.
I used a browser extension exactly for this when I still used Twitter. Best thing ever. Then manbaby bought Twitter and it’s gone to shit.
The point of nitter for me was checking some source links to twitter from mastodon posts without adding my +1 to the number of active users on Melons dumb website, so that is not really an alternative for me :(
I watched a few statuses on Twitter with this Userstyle using Tor and then added blocking of the Google and Apple login scripts and without having to use a Twitter login. Never got asked by Twitter to login. Nitter was for sure much nicer when it still worked but this is good enough for me when I would really want to look up a Twitter page (which rarely happens).
