Author here, this the website where you go to get customer support from Google, right? /s<p>Was everyone who reviews extensions at Google part of the cohort who were suddenly given a cardboard box and shown the door recently? The extension has been blowing up in Japan over the weekend (user numbers more than doubled from 29,000 to 68,000 over the last few days) so I internationalized it to add a Japanese locale (and incidentally accidentally used "en" for the default locale rather than "en_US" which everyone seems to default to, for which the Edge Extension Dashboard completely wiped my store listing in their interface - cheers).<p>New versions on Chrome Web Store are usually approved first within in a few hours, but it's been sitting for more than 24 hours now and their contact form suggests you only bother them after 3 weeks! It doesn't help that the version I submitted has invalid locale strings for Chrome (which worked fine in Firefox, the default browser launched by the web-ext extension development tool - thanks) and you can't back a known-bad version out of review.<p>Yes, I too have read all the rants about being beholden to Big Extension Store and have nobody to blame but myself :)<p>Also, happy to answer any questions you have about writing extensions on top of React Native for Web apps - New Twitter was a fix it or quit it situation for me, and I ended up getting lots of practice at the former when it's looking like I probably should have just done the latter.
The Elon acquisition forcing me to finally break my Twitter habit was awesome. Whenever I go back, I started to wonder why I spent so much time there. Mastodon has been positive in other ways - I'm posting less there than I did on Twitter, and the people there are generally less toxic overall (though I've been carefully curating who I follow this time around).<p>I think we'll continue to see social media fracture and federate as time goes on, and this will turn out to be a net benefit for society. For now, my mental health is definitely better.
Really cool. It seems there are many such extensions for enhancing Twitter and other websites. I wonder if there are any `awesome-x`-style repos that list all such browser extensions.<p>I myself developed an extension for integrating Mastodon with Twitter recently[0]. It's a great way to get exposure to Mastodon without leaving the familiar Twitter UI.<p>[0] - <a href="https://chirper.picheta.me/" rel="nofollow">https://chirper.picheta.me/</a>
I don't want to use another extension. If it could be done inside uBlock Origin, that's about the length I'm willing to go. Barring that, I've found myself simply going to twitter.com far, far less on desktop. And not at all on mobile.
I'm going to give this a shot. I have been using "Minimal Theme for Twitter" extension for a couple of years and love it. I'm less distracted by hiding what's trending, etc.
