App: Control Panel for Twitter
Developer: Jonathan Buchanan
Genres: Social Networking

Control Panel for Twitter is a Safari extension to improve your experience on Twitter.com by adding new features and options Twitter is missing.

By default, your Home timeline will be the 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 put you back on "For you". Everything is configurable, so start by opening the extension options and customizing to your liking.

Features:

Home timeline

• Defaults to the "Following" (chronological) timeline, and keeps you on it if Twitter automatically switches to the "For you" timeline
• Hide the "For you" timeline tab (default)
• Move Retweets to a separate tab (default), 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 in the desktop version
• Hide the floating "See new Tweets" button
• Hide "Who to follow", "Follow some Topics" etc. in the Home timeline and elsewhere
• Full-width timeline: hide the sidebar in the desktop version and let timeline content go full-width on Home, Lists and Communities

UI improvements

• Replace X branding changes
• Hide Views under tweets
• Hide the "Verified" tab on the Notifications page
• Replace Twitter Blue checkmarks with the Blue logo so they're not as easily mistaken for verified accounts, or hide them altogether
• Hide Twitter Blue replies in threads

UI tweaks

• Disable use of the Chirp font if you don't like it
• Disable bold and italic text in tweets
• Use the site's normal text font style in the primary navigation menu on desktop to make it less distracting
• Change the navigation menu density on desktop to make it take less room
• Use normal font weight in dropdown menus - if everything's bold, nothing's bold
• Uninvert the Follow and Following buttons to make them less jarring
  • Choice of monochrome or themed (classic) styling for uninverted buttons

Reduce "engagement"

• Hide metrics
• Reduced interaction mode: hide the action bar under tweets – replies are now the only means of interacting
• Disable the home timeline: find yourself wasting too much time on Twitter? Try preventing use of the home timeline, going to Notifications or Messages by default instead

Remove algorithmic content

• Hide "What's happening", "Topics to follow" etc. in the sidebar
• Hide Explore page contents and use it only for searching
• Hide "Discover more" algorithmic tweets when viewing a tweet

Hide UI items you don't use

• Bookmark button under tweets
• Share button under tweets
• Analytics links under your own tweets
• Hide navigation items you don't use on desktop, and other distracting screen elements such as the Messages drawer
• Hide the bottom nav item for Messages on mobile if you don't use it often
• Hide items you don't use in the "More" menu (desktop) or slide-out menu (mobile)

Please note: Twitter will sometimes make changes we can't anticipate which break Control Panel for Twitter functionality, but we have almost 4 years of experience in quickly turning around fixes and adapting to new Twitter features.
