About Control Panel for Twitter
Control Panel for Twitter is a browser extension for desktop and mobile browsers that provides more control over the Twitter/X timeline and adds interface improvements. It keeps the Following timeline from being replaced by "For You", trims algorithmic suggestions, retweets, view counts, trending content and "Discover more", hides Grok and other UI elements, restores headlines under external links, and adds options for hiding tweets or quotes from blocked or muted accounts. Settings are managed through an options interface and applied as they are changed. The extension is available for Safari, Chrome, Firefox and Edge, with the Chrome version also installable in Opera, Brave, Vivaldi and other Chromium-based browsers. It is not open source, and the page does not state pricing.

Control Panel for Twitter FAQ
Why isn't the Safari version working after installing it from the App Store?
Safari extensions must be enabled manually. The app that opens after installation links to the appropriate Settings page to toggle the extension on, and you then need to set the website access permissions for x.com and twitter.com to "Allow".
Does it work when Twitter is opened from a Home Screen bookmark?
No. Safari does not currently allow browser extensions to run in Home Screen Web Apps. Open Safari and navigate to Twitter normally, or use the Shortcuts app to create a shortcut that opens Twitter in Safari.
Which browsers are supported?
Desktop Safari, Chrome, Firefox and Edge, plus mobile Safari, Firefox and Edge. The Chrome version can also be installed in Opera, Brave, Vivaldi and other Chromium-based browsers.
