Refined Twitter improves the Twitter experience by removing cruft and adding useful features. Available for Chrome, Firefox, Opera. Some of the best features are: Embedding linked Instagram photos directly in the tweet, syntax highlighting of code blocks, auto-loads new tweets in the stream if you're scrolled to the top, removes promoted tweets.

Promoted

The enhancements are awesome. They do make the Twitter experience better. But removing promoted tweets? Not so much an enhancement as an assault on their revenue. If you follow that sort of thinking all the way through and everyone is using your extension and paying advertisers no longer have an audience, will there be a Twitter experience to improve? Someone has to fund that infrastructure. Just my 2 cents. I would find this extension valuable without the removal of Twitter's branding and revenue-generating features. The other features are the most valuable, imo. Seems like an abuse of the platform to me, when we all benefit from the massive ecosystem they've created but sabotage the engine that is paying for it. You know what I'm saying?

This is good, but one thing that bugs me - clicks outside of the popup modals (say messages modal) does not close that modal.

@arunsathiya Only the messages modal, and it’s to prevent you from accidentally clicking outside and lose what you were writing. A better solution might be to persist the message. See https://github.com/sindresorhus/...

Nice. Please do something about the display of tweetstorms. I can't tolerate constantly looking where to read next.

As an active social media user I liked straight link between twitter & instagram

Pros:

Link with instagram

Cons:

Don't think that other features are so useful

Hey! Here are some features sugestions: 1) No repetead tweets from thee same source. 2) Be able to block tweets by keywords, maybe i dont want to know about a specific subject which may be very popular. Example: i dont want to read anything about Trump, so trump would be a keyword that if the tweet contains it, it should be hidden.

If this allows me to finally see my first tweet at least 5 minutes later, I'll be the happiest cats on Twitter. Went to test it.

I'm a bit uncomfortable about apps like this removing ads / sponsored posts / etc. That's the primary revenue stream for a lot of services (including Twitter).
