Review Summary
Better Twitter is praised for hiding likes, retweets, and simplifying the Twitter/X interface, helping users avoid distractions. However, many users note that it currently lacks support for the new X.com domain and fails to block promoted tweets and ads. Partial hiding of some elements and language dependency issues also affect usability. Overall, it works well when up-to-date and customized, but needs updates to keep pace with platform changes.
Pros
- Effectively hides likes, retweets, and reply counts, improving user sanity on Twitter/X.
- Provides multiple options to customize which elements are hidden, such as trending tab and 'topics to follow'.
- Works well in removing certain interface distractions like 'who to follow' suggestions and the trending tab.
- Generally reliable once the browser is restarted as a fix for initial issues.
- Highly appreciated by users for bringing back a simpler Twitter experience.
Cons
- Extension requires updating to support X.com due to site changes; not currently working on the new domain.
- Does not effectively block promoted tweets or ads, which frustrates multiple users.
- Some features don't completely hide elements, e.g., partial hiding of 'who to follow' and followers count showing despite 'no fame' mode.
- Issues with language settings affecting functionality; extension may not work correctly if language isn't English.
- Users report it sometimes stops hiding content and requires a browser restart or extension update.
