Hide X.com Ads Extension

Hate seeing the same ads over and over again? Hate Twitter / X.com ads in general?

This tool is free, doesn't require signup, and does not track anything you do.

Blocks sponsored/promoted Tweets in several languages, as well as in-app native ads like \"Subscribe to Premium\" or \"Upgrade to Premium+.\" We want it all gone.

To request new languages or customize your Twitter ad-block settings, go here:
