Do you have a similar (web based, no mobile apps) workaround for Twitter?

I don't have Twitter installed on my phone as I don't want to be bothered by notifications and I don't want to see my personalized feed. But sometimes I want to catch up on some breaking news or hear a commentator's thoughts on a recent event, and Twitter is either a good place or the only place for that.

Unfortunately, the Twitter web app shuts me down when I scroll too far into a page.




You can use https://nitter.net (just replace Twitter.com in the URL)

The twitter mobile experience is awful, but I found that if you tap signin in the infamous undismissable modal and then you go back with the browser it will not nag you for a while.

Then there's Nitter if you are after an alternative frontend.


On iOS, Brave allows you to automatically redirect URLs. Nitter and old.reddit would be an ideal use case:

nitter.net provide the front end for twitter. Just add the username you want to read. https://nitter.net/username
