Is there a way to block or hide all promoted tweets on Twitter?

by Kalin

I’ve been blocking promoted tweets consistently for the past year or so, but things are getting even worse... Is there a way I can block/hide ALL promoted tweets?

If you change your home screen settings to latest tweets only, you won't see any promoted or suggested tweets in your feed. You can do so by clicking on the sparkle/magic icon on the top right-hand side of the feed on the Home page.

  Sorry, I just realized that promoted tweets still show up, even if you've filtered to latest tweets only. My bad!

If you are on a desktop, use an adblocker.

My team and I just launched a browser extension that is hiding all promoted tweets and ads on Twitter. It is really easy to use. All you need to do is to install it on your preferred browser and let it do its job.

Try it and let me know if it works for you - https://blockzilla.app/

P.S. It works also on Facebook, LinkedIn, Reddit, Amazon, eBay, and others.

Thank you. They look a little suspicious, but if there is no other solution I`m going to try them.

You can inspect their code.

https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/420034-twitter-remove-from-feed-who-to-follow-topics-to-follow-and-promoted-tweets/code

function gtfo() {
    $( "span:contains('Who to follow')" ).parent().parent().parent().parent().parent().hide().next().hide().next().hide().next().hide().next().hide().next().hide();
    $( "span:contains('Topics to follow')" ).parent().parent().parent().parent().parent().hide().next().hide().next().hide().next().hide();
    $( "article span:contains('Promoted')" ).parent().parent().parent().parent().parent().hide().next().hide().next().hide().next().hide();
    $( "span:contains('Promoted by')" ).parent().parent().parent().parent().hide().next().hide().next().hide().next().hide();
    $( "span:contains('Promoted Tweet')" ).parent().parent().parent().parent().hide();
    $( "span:contains('Promoted')" ).parent().parent().parent().parent().parent().hide();
    console.log('removed');
    //Repeat
    setTimeout(gtfo, 10000);
}
 
//Initial Run
setTimeout(function(){
    gtfo();
}, 3000);

Literally hides chosen spans. Anyways here's the alternative; https://help.twitter.com/en/using-twitter/twitter-blue-features#ad-free-articles
