Simplify Twitter Web UI Extension

**Why?**

- I don't like 3-column layouts (too busy)
- Hide \"Trending For you\" stuff – usually in the right sidebar
- Attempt to hide \"Promoted Tweets\" – currently works, but don't count on it

See the website for more info.

David Jardine (ID: 000000050a1c3e9e) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/09/2021 Exactly what I was looking for - if you use a vertical monitor to manage your chat apps like twitter/discord etc this cleans up twitter a lot and keeps the chats in the one panel. Ideally Twitter would do this automatically for mobile layout but dont hold your breath.
