Gives you more control over Twitter and adds missing features and UI improvements
Control Panel for Twitter is a browser extension for Twitter - its main goals are to reduce the amount of algorithmic content you see, give you more control over your timeline and make the UI less distracting.
By default, your Home timeline will be the reverse-chronological "Following" timeline, which will only contain tweets and quote tweets from the people you follow. The algorithmic "For you" timeline will be hidden, and Control Panel for Twitter will keep you on "Following" if Twitter tries to automatically take you off it. Everything is configurable, so start by opening the options popup and customizing to your liking. Changes you make in the options will be applied immediately.

- It is one of my important extenstion, especially if you use Twitter for your knowledge/network development. "Must Have". Less distraction and increases productivity, therefore saves lot of your time and energy.

- Jovi
- Hiding the "For You" timeline and "Use Following timeline by default" errors have been fixed as of writing this review. Thank you for the quick fix
- Kenneth
- "Use Following timeline by default" and "hide For You timeline" does not work anymore.
- Mankind Maybe
- Starting around December 15th or 16th, I can no longer hide recommended posts on my timeline. This is my primary goal, so I request an urgent fix. -- Translation of Google User 1's post -- I think so too.
- TheOscar6793

- Miobi 23

- Not working as touted. I'd pay for this function, too. Let's see if it gets updated.
- Cynthia Ahmar
- Do you have a way to restore the X Chat nonsense page to the old Messages one? I was looking for something like this but not sure if it's possible to do.
- kim
- Parts of the extension are broken; e.g. the "For you" page is showing again on the website.
- Seven 000 (Seven)
- Stopped working and still shows for you page please fix. (Its not my settings I checked)
- Noppadol songyoo
- Love the extension but features are broken after new X update. "FOR YOU" cannot be hidden anymore. Nor can we set "following" as the default homepage selection.
- コシャマシュ
- good!!!
- Mariu
- checking account following for hide comment doesnt work, onyl hides comments if check number followers is disabled
- Tom Barrister
- The latest X update broke several features, including being able to hide "For You." Several other extensions that operate through X's API are similarly broken. Those who want to hide the "For You" tab can use the "Remove Twitter For You" extension, which still works.
- JCDenton205
- fix the for you tab not hiding
- Firewarrior
- Recent update has destroyed the You/Following option. The For you now is default even though in the options its ticked to remove it. When it refreshes it now refreshes for you.
- Estrela Pina
- Perfect
- Ermias Amanuel
- Still isn't compatible with the new Chat feature they released. Needs an update urgently.
- Shades Of Meaning
- Great when it works but it now hides 'probable spam' entirely even though no setting for that I can see. Uninstalling and reinstalling fixes that but then it happens again. probable spam matters because most of it it not spam at all
- deen
- Needs an update urgently
- Ban Nsabin
- Please update the logo from bird to x. Gives us new black color button theme
- Matthew
- Perfect addon, it allows me to customise/remove all the sh!tty annoyances on X/Twitter, and make it a much better experience. No more useless "Who to follow" recommendations, "Discover more", no more retweets in lists and countless other garbage I don't care about Thanks for making this addon, it's awesome! I wish I had found this much earlier lol
- Sam Williams
- Giving it three stars (for now) because it does work HOWEVER lately it's been doing weird things such as logging me out randomly, not allowing me to post replies unless I refresh, not registering my reposts, etc. I am not sure if this is directly because of the exenstion but it's the only thing I can think of. If no one else is having this issues because of control panel let me know and I will remove this review.
- Jan-Dirk Schuitemaker
- The latest versions seems to cause page reloads when I open Twitter now. It has always worked very well for me, but it is unusable at the moment. Will change my review when this is fixed.
- Christian Ramos
- I been suffering for quite some time, since I began using X frequently by the constant nonsense news and recomendations, never knew this existed until yesterday and all I have to say this is AWESOME! works like a charm! you can customize pretty much everything on how X looks and feels! Thank you for creating such an amazing extension!
- Colin Lee
- Can we hide vedio in timeline??? I just want pure tweet content, DON'T want it become TikTok
- J Miko
- I wanted that Side Bar nonsense gone. This is working really good.
- Lakshay Yadav
- I love the extension you created, it helps a lot in staying focused. If you can add the ability to hide messages and notifications as well, that'd be really helpful because they are very distracting like the home page.
- Rocío Gómez Carrasco
- Just started using it, it looks great so far. Something I think could be a good feature is hiding verified account tweets from the for you page. Otherwise, great extension!
- Jeff Rosen
- Please add ability to hide community notes from left sidebar! Also, "what's happening" isn't appearing in the right sidebar when on home page regardless of what my settings are set to.
- Gavin Jackson
- Very cool! Thank you dev
- eggface
- Fantastic choices available with this extension, thankyou. The only suggestion i would like to make is : Please let us put the feed into the middle of the page , where i feel it intuitively belongs. i.e without going "full width", which is *too* wide for me. I was using another extension (simplified twitter) on top of this one to keep it centred, but Google just withdrew it. I am using Twitter on desktop, always.
- Sridhar Ratnakumar
- The default settings are very antagonistic to casual X users. Sounds as if author's trying to push their anti-Musk views on to the world at large. If there was an initial wizard that allowed me to opt of their insane defaults (keeping only incontrovertible things like hiding the right sidebar), I'd keep this extension.
- meng ye
- Want to add a feature to hide all images， Please
- Jordan
- Its good but the settings on "who to follow and what happening and other suggestions" that I've hidden but they always come back i have to always disable and enable this extension to make them go but each time i go to twitter they pop up again on there own.
- Kyriacos Taliotis
- It's doing a great job. one improvement I'd like to see is to be able to add a list of words to mute in search
- すぴこ
- For several months now, it has been buggy in general, not displaying in chronological order regardless of the browser used, and appearing at any time even though the recommended accounts are set to hidden, etc. I use this tool to avoid displaying annoying things, but it makes no sense at all, so please fix it.
- Keeby219
- fix the bug where the full width timeline is refusing to show reply threads in full
- amadele
- comments and quote tweets never load on chrome, it served me for a while but lately things have been going downhill and i think i have to uninstall this extension if nothing gets updated sadly. was really good while it lasted, elon musk sucks
- Eric Darnell
- It works for the most part but seems like it is getting worse. Doesn't seem to be in chronological order anymore even with that box ticked, posts get repeated during scrolling on pc.
- Ivan Daglio
- Search and many other features are no longer working. I disabled the extension and now all those features work again. What's going on? UPDATE PLEASE
- Temias Mercurial
- So I've been enjoying this extension, but as others are stating, seemingly some features are breaking in the past couple months or so. Now if you attempt to open posts in a separate tab, or open a link to a given twitter post, it just throws an error on the website and won't load the content. If you delete everything in the URL besides the account name, it will load their page and content just fine, you just can't view anything outside of that. Simply disabling the extension restores page functionality, and re-enabling the extension immediately demonstrates the error. I'm also using it on Brave.
