Abint Fonrole (ID: 000000374e035e2f) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 11/20/2023 Works a good 90% of the time. Saves me from accidentally middle clicking the right side screen links since I consider that side of the page useless. Sometimes doesn't remove them when transitioning between timeline and post view page or back

Jake Jakers (ID: 0000003a0382f5b3) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 05/16/2023 This is a really helpful extension... when it works. But unfortunately, after just a few weeks, it already fails more often than it works properly. Having to reload constantly in hopes that it works so that way I don't need to see what political story twitter wants me to look at is trending when I just wanna see memes about Tracer is really stupid. There are other extensions that do more or less the same thing, so give those a try instead.
