shinmai / Blue-Blocker

unendorsed Blue Blocker fork that adds QT&RT support and some other band-aid fixes

unendorsed Blue Blocker fork

Blocks all Verified Twitter Blue users on twitter.com
@shinmai added quick & dirty support for RTs & QRTs, made the setting to ignore followed accounts also ignore followers, and made the extension ignore users with 1M+ followers for now due to Elon Musk's recent shenanigans.

Usage

Nothing! Just install and say goodbye to all the paid blue checkmarks!

By default, Blue Blocker does not block users you follow who have purchased Twitter Blue. You can enable this from the extension settings.

Install

Development

Chrome

1. Clone the repository
2. Visit the chrome extentions page (or enter chrome://extensions/ in the Chrome url bar)
3. Enable Developer mode in the top right
4. Click Load unpacked in the top left and select the cloned directory

Firefox

1. Clone the repository
2. Rename firefox-manifest.json to manifest.json (feel free to delete or rename the other manifest.json)
3. Visit the firefox addon debugging page (or enter about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox in the Firefox url bar)
4. Click Load Temporary Add-on in the top right and select manifest.json in the cloned directory

NOTE: You may need to replace instances of browser.storage.sync with browser.storage.local for local firefox development.

TODO

1. Missing support for these requests
   • search (all types)
   • "you might like" column
   • "who to follow" sections
2. Remove the blocked users from the dom
3. Look into an issue where users can be missed
