Nitter Redirect Extension

https://github.com/0xJacoby/NitterRedirect/tree/manifest-v3

Done are the days of having to view random twitter profiles through their shitty ass website that has 300 pop ups, ads and forces u to login after reading 5 tweets in a timeline. This simple extention simply adds a little button next to the follow button on a twitter profile page that redirects you to the same profile but on the much more usuable version \"nitter.net\". Which is twitter without all the bullshit.
