What does this have to do with privacy? It's just a userscript to modify the regular Twitter website with all its human rights abuse.

Description: twitter with no timeline, no likes, no retweets, no buttons, nothing. just the tweets.
Notes: i made this because i wanna see tweets people link, but i don't want an account, but i have to create one to see them.
Looks cool, going to give it a try
It sort of looks nice but it doesn't seem to work very much. Any links I click on a twitter page do nothing but bring up a login form. Sometimes it comes up first, obscuring the content, even if I don't click any links. I'm considering putting in a redirect rule to send every twitter link here instead.
The point of nitter for me was checking some source links to twitter from mastodon posts without adding my +1 to the number of active users on Melons dumb website, so that is not really an alternative for me :(
I watched a few statuses on Twitter with this Userstyle using Tor and then added blocking of the Google and Apple login scripts and without having to use a Twitter login. Never got asked by Twitter to login. Nitter was for sure much nicer when it still worked but this is good enough for me when I would really want to look up a Twitter page (which rarely happens).
Stop caring about what people post on twitter.
true but sometimes a news article or some service will link to a tweet and i have to use the godawful website client
I personally just don’t bother if that is the case ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I used a browser extension exactly for this when I still used Twitter. Best thing ever. Then manbaby bought Twitter and it's gone to shit.
