Control Panel for Twitter

Gives you more control over Twitter and adds missing features and UI improvements

Control Panel for Twitter: Edge Add-on

"Control Panel for Twitter" is a functional Edge add-on designed to improve your Twitter experience. Its primary goals are to minimize the constant exposure to algorithmic content, allow users greater control over their Twitter feed and streamline the user interface for a less distracting experience. By default, it offers a reverse-chronological "Following" timeline instead of the algorithmic "For You" timeline. It enables users to tweak multiple aspects of the UI and modify visibility settings. Additionally, it can remove certain option metrics, allows the hiding of certain options if desired, and offers an overall more customized Twitter experience.

Add-on summary

Analyze keywords

Control Panel for Twitter is a browser extension for Twitter - its main goals are to reduce the amount of algorithmic content you see, give you more control over your timeline and make the UI less distracting.

By default, your Home timeline will be the reverse-chronological "Following" timeline, which will only contain tweets and quote tweets from the people you follow. The algorithmic "For you" timeline will be hidden, and Control Panel for Twitter will keep you on "Following" if Twitter tries to automatically take you off it. Everything is configurable, so start by opening the options popup and customizing to your liking. Changes you make in the options will be applied immediately.

Home timeline

• Defaults to the "Following" (chronological) timeline, automatically switching you back if Twitter tries to move you to the "For you" (algorithmic) timeline • Hide the "For you" timeline tab (default setting) • Move Retweets to a separate tab (default setting), or hide them entirely • Move Quote Tweets and replies to them to a separate tab in the Home timeline, or hide them entirely • Hide Retweets in pinned Lists • Hide tweets quoting accounts you've blocked or muted • Mute quoting of specific tweets - adds a "Mute this conversation" menu item to Quote Tweets in the Home and List timelines • Hide the "Home" heading • Hide the floating "See new Tweets" button

Wonderful. I can choose what I want and what I don't want to see so it makes my life so much less stressful and more peaceful on Twitter/X.

The features are fantastic, but if you scroll down Twitter far enough, the entire website goes into "spasms" and breaks down until you turn the extension off.
