J. Scott Elblein (ID: 000000ee05f7b6ca) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 03/30/2018 Doesn't seem to work. At least when visiting other ppl's pages. I'm looking for an extension to fi lter out pinned, retweets, and horoscopes when viewing peoples profiles, and this one isn't doing it. Maybe it works for your own feed, don't know. Uninstalling.
