Indeed, twitter only benefits from people using it. Having more people use it to organise some kind of block-boycott on it will only help engagement. Ultimately it's a signal and one used by a tiny minority.

It's a bit silly, if they hate twitter they should stop using it.

nevertheless I approve of extensions allowing people to add functionality to sites.

Now let's enable people to block toxic posts, porn, adverts, politics as well. Something more helpful to people.

Yeah, continuing to use a product you hate and complaining about it is not going to bring the types of changes you want.

The "Orange Hellsite."

And Twitter is the "Blue Hellsite*".

Both are bad, both still show up in my browser history. I don't know why.

If you'd like the "Orange Hellsite" to stop showing up in your browser history, enable "noprocrast" in your Orange Hellsite profile, then set maxvisit to 1 and minaway to 700 or something similarly large.

Nah. That only works if you are logged in. It's trivial to delete and account and make a new one. There's nothing particularly special about one's account (and, in fact, I regularly delete mine and create a new one so I don't get too attached to the 'number going up' on the karma.)
