Blue Blocker

Blocks all Verified Twitter Blue users on twitter.com

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.

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

TODO

1. Missing support for these requests
   • search (all types)
   • quote tweets (the quoted tweet)
   • "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
