Nim Jayawardena (ID: 000000caa8a25ede) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/27/2021 Works! But I had to manually check "Hide Newsfeed" after installing the extension. No biggie, but I can easily imagine other users thinking it doesn't work and not being able to locate the checkbox. It removes the Twitter feed (on my home page). And I can still compose a tweet using the circular tweet button. Thanks so much for making this!
