Blocks all Twitter Blue verified users on twitter.com
Just install and say goodbye to all the paid blue checkmarks!
By default, Blue Blocker does not block users you follow or follow you who have purchased Twitter Blue. You can change this and other settings from the extension context menu found by clicking the extension icon in your browser's toolbar.
Features:
- Internal queue allows users to be blocked in the background without hitting twitter's API limits
- Avoid blocking celebs and influencers who were given Twitter Blue against their will
- Block anyone that promotes a tweet and supports this nightmare platform
- Change the speed users are blocked to avoid API limits
- Sync between tabs means that you can have dozens of tabs open without needing to worry
- Simple settings menu, skip blocking people you follow or even affiliates
- Feel bad about blocking? You can mute instead!
- Optional messages tell you who you've blocked and even allow you to unblock them- and flag them to not be blocked again
- Supports every major location tweets show up
- Search Results
- Tweet replies and threads
- For You and your home timeline
- User Pages
- Optionally also block users with NFT avatars

- (2024-02-01) Christopher: Definitely carries some friendly fire that you're gonna have to let go of in order to let the extension do its job. Since installing, I am almost at 5K blocks and still going. I unblock as needed or as blocked account quote retweets catch my eye. I did get logged out once, but I have since set my block interval to 60s and have had no problems since then. Feb 2024 UPDATE: This will not fix your Twitter experience under Elon, so don't come into the extension and gripe at the developer for feeling "misled". It does make things more tolerable and I recommend it on that measurement. I am now up to 33K blocked and I am pleased to see that the developer is still working on it and the infrequent error pop ups seem to be eliminated or basically non-existent.
- (2023-11-03) el wiwi: perfect.
- (2023-10-25) camera: Based
- (2023-10-11) Joaquin Bonilla Suez: It works, but it doesn't seem to be hiding blues' comments in real time like it used to
- (2023-10-08) OnlyUnkownGuy .-.: works but sometimes it will block the ones im following, so kinda anooying but this extention is great
- (2023-10-06) Flygoow “Flygoow”: Le plus grand plug in de l'histoire, j'écris vraiment pas souvent des avis mais celui là il mérite mes 5 étoiles, efficace pour bloquer tout les cryptobros et les ienclis qui payent 6 balles par mois un service gratuit, exceptionnel
- (2023-09-28) Z: if not for this i would have closed my twitter account and moved all my accounts using a twitter login token over to facebook or another option. it makes the site somewhat usable. twitter blue turned everyone into a wannabe influencer and everyone is trying to sell you something, which would be fine i suppose if it didn't boost their coal content and takes making it so blue replies and tweets are literally all i ever see.. it's a god awful monetization model
- (2023-09-12) Hans Diamante: it works really well but a bit too well, it has some customization but the safelist feature is difficult to manually make one yourself. i would have to turn it on, scroll on the profile, gets blocked, and then undo the block and export the safelist just to view the safelist. it would be nice if it was easier to make a safelist rather than doing this workaround
- (2023-09-09) Daniel Miguez Garcia: Does anyone know if this blocks blue users that have chosen to hide their check? I have to take those too!
- (2023-09-04) Tom Ward: Great, works as advertised! Set mine to a 10k follower threshold and 5 sec block interval and timer, it logged me out twice but otherwise no problems. Over 2k blocked in a few days and growing every day.
- (2023-08-28) Josh Mitchell: Works as it should. Mandatory for browsing Twitter in 2023.
- (2023-08-20) werewolfsharptooth: It is pretty good, Some times I see blue checks not get blocked once and a while. I wish this would actually block all blue checks as they appear on my feed as soon as they appear. it doesn't but it get's the majority of the checkmarks... yes I have set the settings correctly to get all the checkmarks blocked. it just misses a few for some reason I don't know why.
- (2023-08-15) person gamer: Makes Twitter more tolerable. If you are willing to pay for engagement, your content likely won't be interesting to begin with. The current system just brings the blandest to the forefront. This extension helps stop that.
- (2023-08-10) Suman Sourav: Such a stupid thing
- (2023-08-08) Kaio Siqueira de Souza: Can you guys add instructions or explain how to use it? I have it installed and can't figure how to use it or what is does. Not intuitive at all, the description on the store and the github page are not clear
- (2023-08-02) R H: Have blocked over 6.3K obnoxious bluechecks in just a few weeks' time. 10/10 would block again. Would love to see this expanded to allow it to process certain keywords (similar to how it offers option to block NFT icons), so that it could autoblock anyone with something like .eth etc in their username.
- (2023-07-31) H Z: Downloaded. Hasn't blocked a single thing.
- (2023-07-29) Kai Nottbohm: Immediately makes Twitter useable again
- (2023-07-28) eraserham: Much less effective than BluesBlocker, but it does block gold verified (which BluesBlocker does not).
- (2023-07-25) Laiza: Make Twitter Great Again! How am I just finding out about this? Immediate improvement to Twitter, and will slowly even improve the phone app experience since the block list is in Twitter itself and not tied to local settings and webpage manipulation.
- (2023-07-21) moutain du: Works perfectly! Don't know how to import block lists properly (specifically Esqueer's), but the passive blocking is enough to clean out a lot of the garbage replies.
- (2023-07-20) Thibault Milan: J'ai récemment découvert l'extension Chrome "Blue Blocker" et je suis absolument ravi de l'efficacité et des fonctionnalités qu'elle propose. Cette extension mérite amplement mes cinq étoiles, car elle a considérablement amélioré mon expérience de navigation en ligne et a contribué à protéger mes yeux des effets nocifs de la fachosphère sur Twitter. Dès que j'ai installé Blue Blocker, j'ai été impressionné par sa simplicité d'utilisation. L'interface utilisateur est intuitive et conviviale, ce qui permet une configuration rapide et sans tracas. J'ai pu personnaliser facilement les paramètres selon mes préférences, ce qui est un énorme avantage pour moi.
- (2023-07-19) Jonathan Bauer: Makes Twitter usable in 2023
- (2023-07-15) Michael Kindred: Works beautifully.
- (2023-07-14) How Is This a Name: just installed about 20 minutes ago v0.3.4, and it still says it's blocked 0 accounts, i like this as an idea but it just doesn't seem to do anything? Maybe it's because I have twitter *OPEN* while it's doing its thing, but i've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the plugin, restarting and updating chrome, restarting my PC and it just won't block anything, even when there's tweets from blue checks *on* my feed for it to block :(
- (2023-07-14) Rebecca Lodahl: It is installed v 3.4 and I set it to block blues with fewer than 29k followers and it is turned on, but it's not blocking anyone. It's been an hour and the queue is still at zero. I have opened twit and scrolled thru many tweets from small blues to see if that would kickstart things and nothing has happened. I don't know what I might be doing/not doing, and I have very basic computer skills.... so please explain like you are talking to your mom.
- (2023-07-12) Cadence Pacific: cool addon, except the import list format doesn't work with the most popular blocklist here: https://github.com/esqueer/twitter_blue_blocklist/tree/main which really limits its utility overall.
- (2023-07-12) bread bug: Very helpful, makes twitter much better overall.
- (2023-07-12) M: Wow it has immediately improved my twitter experience. Thanks Dril <3
- (2023-07-12) Dana Toland: This works great. I can set the delay to 3 seconds without getting logged out very often.
- (2023-07-01) Marlon Phoenix: My feed becomes so much more bearable when using this. Thank you!!!
- (2023-06-28) Justine Dugger-Ades: This extension is great! ...when it works. I'm leaving five stars because it really is great and has a lot of options for customization which I love. However, I can't seem to get it to work consistently. As far as I know, it's supposed to just start working automatically, but it's only done that a couple of times for me. I can't find a way to force it to work either. Again, when it works it is perfect. Great job on this one.
- (2023-06-28) Gabriel Flores: Must have for everyone who uses Twitter! Very useful extension to block scammers and conspiracy theorists on Twitter, most of which are Blue subscribers.
- (2023-06-28) ian bergren: ver. 0.3.1 does exactly what it says it will do ver 0.3.0 didn't work at all though
- (2023-06-28) Mura: For the time being I will rate it 4 stars because 1 star would look bad and the issue is probably something on my end. I'm having issues running this plugin. I'm on chrome windows 11 and I have no idea if I am supposed to set something up beforehand. It would be very appreciated to get some feedback. Thanks in advance!!
- (2023-06-27) Steve Miller: updated to suddenly need way more permissions than it actually needs to function do not install app is probably being used maliciously now
- (2023-06-27) Tio Salamanca: it's now demanding more permissions, why does it suddenly now need to manage my themes, apps and extensions?
- (2023-06-23) Alex C: blocks the morons
- (2023-06-20) John Trainor: Excellent plugin, and after a somewhat shaky start it seems like all the bugs have been worked out. My only suggestion to the devs would be to change where the popup notifications appear— lower left of the window blocks more of Twitter's functionality, it seems to me, than upper right would? (Also, question: I also have the Eight Dollars plugin installed to see who's legacy verified and who's paid. This plugin blocks some but not all users who show up as "verified," but it seems to consistently catch all "paid" accounts. My guess is that Twitter's API changes have broken Eight Dollars but that Blue Blocker is correctly distinguishing between the two?)
- (2023-06-19) Cold: Rather effective and useful, only complaint is that it very clearly can not tell whether you follow some accounts. I've had multiple accounts I follow with checks get blocked despite not checking the box, which is rather annoying to find out after the fact
- (2023-06-18) Matt Radlow: Amazing! Thank you!
- (2023-06-16) Anno Domini: I've been looking for a blue-check blocker for weeks! Thank you so much :)
- (2023-06-15) Bill Ludwig: Works great, thanks for taking the time to make something so helpful!
- (2023-06-15) Jon Kuperman: Works perfectly so far.
- (2023-06-08) Maxime Charest: It's super slow and it blocks people you follow.
- (2023-06-06) Sandro Santos: Muito bom, faz o que promete.
- (2023-05-26) George McMillan: This extension is fantastic, and the developer has done a great job of adding functionality and responding to user suggestions. I'm already at 16,000 blocked using Blue Blocker (along with another 275,000 through blocklists). Twitter logs you out after a certain amount of blocks. Ideally, the plugin could either avoid this or log you back in, but I'm not sure if that's realistic.
- (2023-05-23) Patrick Lavin: Works great. It would be nice if they added a feature to let you import a block list to just have a bunch of accounts queued up.
- (2023-05-20) bruce macdonald: I'm so glad I was made aware of this extension, it's a great service. Thanks for making this! I have a question, though - will the queue be cleared if I close the browser?
- (2023-05-19) Vin cent: Please remove the notifications that pop up, they cover the entire screen and i am literally unable to view my feed.
