Refined Twitter — A browser extension that improves the Twitter experience
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.

I have previously built a very successful browser extension, Refined GitHub, that improves the GitHub experience. This time I want to make Twitter better. Why wait for a huge corporation to prioritize users when we can leave it in the hands of the amazing open source community! Hopefully, Twitter will notice and steal some of the ideas.
Let me know about your pain-points with Twitter and how we can make it better for you.
@sindresorhus Been using Refined GitHub for some time. Time to give Refined Twitter a whirl!
EDIT: Can we have an option to disable certain features like with Refined GitHub?
Twitter's design is kind of weak in general, would love to see a super modern version!
Can I reduce the images size? I never use Twitter on the web because the images are too big and annoying.
@jitowix Do you mean the tweet image thumbnails? Open an issue, and we can consider making it an option if more people are interested in this.
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.
Oh my god, this is what I've needed my entire life. The perfect blend of Tweedeck and Twitter.
@sindresorhus, kudos. This is a powerfully simple extension for any Twitter addict. You won't notice some of the tweaks at first (eg. auto-updating twitter feed, Instagram pictures automatically included, auto-formatted code, and more), but they're crazy powerful.
Can't wait to tell everyone about this. 👏👏👏
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).
@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.
