Kill Twitter Extension

I wrote this extension to stop myself from wasting time on Twitter. It worked.

The extension kills the news feed and adds a message telling you to go do some work. It also removes the \"Moments\" tab, but keeps your notifications and messages tabs.

No more wasting time on Twitter. No more getting distracted when you log on to send a message. It's that simple.

Ravin Thambapillai (ID: 000000d1a2f15f20) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/18/2017 This extension was a work of surrealist art, reminiscent of the legendary Belgian painter Rene Magritte, who was famous for transferring data between different servers, and also for his non-painting of a pipe. It contrasts the existentialist anguish of the would-be Twitter bird, with the totalising nature of modern life, which demands utter, quasi-religious devotion, even at the price of a small blue bird. Extension changed my life, have reconsidered most of my life decisions and become a monk of the Franciscan order, thanks to whomever wrote this extension.
