X (Twitter) Mass Unfollow Extension

CHANGELOG
v1.2.2: Fixes issue with clicking confirm unfollow button
v1.2.1: Fixes issue with showing unfollow modal without unfollowing the user
v1.2.0: Now works with the new domain https://x.com

If your X (formerly Twitter) following is a mess and you'd like to start afresh, look no further. X (Twitter) Mass Unfollow will automagically unfollow all or some of your following so you don't have to \"clicky clicky\" because let's face it, no one has the time for that.

USAGE
1. Visit https://x.com/following
2. Click \"ALL\" to unfollow all the people you follow on X (formerly Twitter) or \"NOT FOLLOWING\" to unfollow just the accounts you follow but are not following you back.
3. Use STOP to abort the whole process

Pro Tip: To see how the extension works without unfollowing anyone, click the DEMO button.

OPTIONS
The extension can be configured from the options page.

*Exclude users*
Keep a whitelist of users (X handles/usernames) to not be unfollowed. This could be people that you both are following each other or not. X (formerly Twitter) handles added here will always be given priority regardless of the action button clicked.

*Stop after 1 minute*
The extension will stop running (unfollowing users) after 1minute from time started. If unchecked, it will run until there's no one to unfollow & you'd have to manually \"STOP\" the process as you see fit.

*Reload on finished*
Whether the extension should reload the current page after the running process is finished/done. By default, page will be refreshed. You can uncheck this to manually reload the page yourself.

Amir (ID: 000000eb74784222) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 10/18/2023 It Worked great for me, succesfully unfolowed more than 1000 accounts! The only shortcoming for me is that it wasn't able to do it all in one time, even after unselecting the stop after 1 minute. So each time it unfollowed a certain amount of accounts then I needed to start the unfollowing by the extension again. It saved me so much time! Thank you

Nick C (ID: 00000035ecffe0ea) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/13/2023 You have to be on your following page for this to work, i.e. twitter.com/your-username/following Works great.
