## What it is
Control Panel for Twitter is a browser extension for desktop and mobile browsers that gives users more control over their Twitter/X experience. It adds missing features and UI improvements such as staying on the Following timeline, hiding algorithmic suggestions, view counts, Grok, and other unwanted UI elements.

## Use cases
- keep my Twitter timeline on Following instead of For You
- hide algorithmic recommendations and retweets from my Twitter feed
- remove view counts and trending content from Twitter
- hide Grok and revert X branding changes
- mute quotes of specific tweets and hide tweets from blocked accounts
- make the Twitter UI less busy by hiding unused UI items
- restore headlines under external links on Twitter

## When to choose
- you use Twitter/X daily and want to remove algorithmic noise and clutter
- you want a calmer, chronological Following timeline by default
- you want an extensive options UI to customize which Twitter features are hidden
- you use Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, or other Chromium-based browsers on desktop or mobile

## When to avoid
- you do not use Twitter/X
- you need a server-side or API-based Twitter client rather than a browser extension
- you need features that require Twitter API access, such as posting or analytics
