About Control Panel for Twitter

Control Panel for Twitter is a Safari extension to improve your experience on Twitter.com by adding new features and options Twitter is missing.

By default, your Home timeline will be the chronological "Following" timeline, which will only contain tweets and quote tweets from the people you follow. The algorithmic "For you" timeline will be hidden, and Control Panel for Twitter will keep you on "Following" if Twitter tries to put you back on "For you". Everything is configurable, so start by opening the extension options and customizing to your liking.

Most settings work

Good app. I was literally being harassed by "support" on X who disabled my ability to block spam and bot accounts that kept showing up in the For You, as they were flooding the For You with random irrelevant junk posts and beastiality clips! I was about to just delete my account and give X and that mentally ill aberrant animal E. M. the middle finger. Your app literally saved my sanity and my Twitter account. Best $4.99 I've ever spent in the Apple app store. Also, most settings in the Control Panel app work, but not all. For instance I opted to hide the Chat tab under the Home tab in the left sidebar, but the Chat option is still visible. I never use it so don't want to see it. Now I need to find a great app that allows to block or mute posts from entire communities by account name. Twitter (X) started doing this annoying thing where they put tweets from random Communities in the For You as retweets (reposts) also known as spam, so the ability to just block (or mute) all tweets from a community is an absolute necessity so I don't have to see any of their tweets in search results.

Quickly Fixed The Issue

There was an issue where it was not possible to hide the for you tab, it is now fixed. Great job.
