- Rated 3 out of 5by Rusty, 3 years agoWorks great, but ever since I downloaded it I seem to randomly get logged out of twitter with a message at the bottom that reads "Your account may not be allowed to perform this action, please refresh the page or try again" or something along those lines. I don't know if this is a result of me clicking on posts at the same time that the bot blocks an account, leading to twitter thinking I'm behaving like a bot, or what. It's annoying though not nearly as annoying as having twitter blue nerds in my replies constantly

posted 3 years agoyou may want to try adjusting the block interval. it defaults to 15 seconds, which should be good, but a lower number puts you at a risk of getting logged out due to rate limiting. - Rated 5 out of 5by solomonope, 3 years ago
- Rated 3 out of 5by L. V., 3 years agodefinitely blocks twitter blue accounts, but it tends to leave some leftover even after i refresh the page. i've also had it re-block one account i manually unblocked twice.
also, for some reason i more often than not get the notification that an account has been blocked (which already takes up a bit of space) repeated about 2-5 times for the same twitter account, which visually takes up a lot of space, and presumably makes me unable to tell which other accounts it has additionally blocked, should i want to unblock one of them.Developer response
posted 3 years agohey! the reason why some accounts are "left over" is because blocking needs to be done slowly over time to prevent your account from getting locked. you can view the accounts queued to be blocked from the context menu found by clicking the addon's icon in your browser's toolbar.
as for the repeated messages, I've experienced that bug as well and I'm not sure of the cause, but I'm looking into it.
regarding unblocking, the addon will not re-block a user you've unblocked when you click "undo" from the popups (or "never block" from the queue viewer). however, if you manually unblock them, the addon does not yet detect this and know to safelist them. the best I can suggest at the moment is to wait for them to be added to the queue and then click "never block". I'm sorry I don't have a better answer yet. - Rated 5 out of 5by goose, 3 years agoBest addon for twitter by far, works flawlessly and is rich in features. I appreciate the option to auto block NFT profile pics.

- Rated 5 out of 5by stothet, 3 years agoWorks as advertised. Love the added features too by blocking NFT profiles. You are a hero for creating this.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 17863991, 3 years agoWorked for a while and then just stopped queueing up tweets. Could be Twitter messing with stuff, I dunno.

posted 3 years agohi! what version are you using? there was an issue for tweet replies that was fixed a few days ago in version 0.2.5. if you have version 0.2.5, could you make an issue on github and provide more information so it can be fixed? Thanks! https://github.com/kheina-com/Blue-Blocker/issues - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17897568, 3 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Ube, 3 years agoGreat add-on. Does what it says, saves you time from doing it manually.
- Rated 4 out of 5by DH, 3 years agoI'd rate this 5 stars, but it needs a way to view and clear the queue. I currently have a queue of 2, abd it keeps dropping to 1 then going back up to 2. It's trying to clear these two accounts and failing, so it is constantly going to be pinging twitter and running the risk of a logout.
- Rated 5 out of 5by John Doe, 3 years agoVery recommended. If you don't want every Blue users appear on top of the replies in every tweet then you should use this.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Alan, 3 years agoFor a while I think it only blocked people if you visited their Twitter profile, but now it appears to block blue check accounts in both my For You feed and in replies to other tweets, which is great news! I can see it working in real time. 5 stars.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17889328, 3 years agoPros - Makes Twitter usable again
Cons - It's Twitter.
Overall I'd recommend it. Every single astroturfing/bot account has twitter blue as 8 dollars a month is worth extra algorithm reach on your GPT generated tweets. If you like reading human tweets this is a must have. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 17888800, 3 years agodoes what it says on the tin. Notifications are annoying because they take up way to much space, but I've adapted to them. It'd be better if it had a size/placement option. Good product. Blocks blue users

posted 3 years agogood point. I'll make an issue for it. any suggestions where they would work better?
currently, you can disable blocked popups in the context menu found by clicking the extension icon in the toolbar. - Rated 5 out of 5by bartku, 3 years agoI would LOVE an on/off button! I need to manually switch the extension on and off, as there are many "good" blue checkmarks on my main feed that I want to keep (retweeted by those I follow).
EDIT: So how I use it is point the browser at some juicy tweet, with lots of dumb blue checkmark replies, and then switch the extension on in the Add-ons manager. Then I get logged out after a while, log back in and repeat.
Great thing about the extension is that it caches all the accounts to block, so even if you get logged out, and logged out you will be, when you get back, the list just waits for you to reactivate the extension.
Really satisfying! - Rated 5 out of 5by wariat, 3 years ago
