The Ad Blocker for X.com (Twitter) Extension

This is a free ad blocker for X (formerly known as Twitter) that provides the cleanest UI. You'll no longer see ads, promoted tweets, \"Discover more\" tweets, \"Who to follow\" tweets, and other unwanted content. The \"Trending\" section is hidden by default, but you can change this on the options page. Unlike other similar extensions this one doesn't rely on you scrolling to block dynamic ads. Instead, it hides them the moment they're added to the page, so you won't even notice them.
