It's just javascript. You can use ublock zap feature to remove the modal, this is why nitter is still working.

To much work for them to do authorization at the API level, they most likely fired all of their backend engineers already.

Nitter isn't working anymore though, and trying to view a tweet while logged out forces you to twitter.com/i/flow/login now so you can't just block the modal

Good to hear! I was thinking nitter isn't working anymore

Edit :

It doesn't work, looks like I'll use mastodon more often

You're right. My bad, we can't zap it or use nitter anymore :(

Can you enlighten me how this works? I would love to be able to zap that modal :)
Even if its only another resource. I tried what i could find online but it keeps pushing me to the /i/flow/login

[–] danieljackson 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah. It looks like I was mistaken and was in some sort of a/b test. The new version now redirect you to a login page, there is no modal anymore :( . Sorry for the false hopes.

I don't think so? It seems like you're directed to a login page. There is no modal and no content under it. I'm only on my phone now so can't be that sure, but it looks like it.

Yes. You're right. I was in some sort of A/B testing. This morning I can't zap it anymore. It's just redirecting to /i/flow/login :/

I hadn’t thought of that. Nice tip!
