Tweet Filter - Simple filter for Twitter
Tweet Filter is a free Chrome extension developed by Dan Teeter. It falls under the category of Browsers and is listed as an Add-ons & Tools subcategory.
This extension allows users to collapse irrelevant tweets on their Twitter home page that match specific keywords. It aims to solve the problem of constantly seeing tweets and retweets about topics that users find tedious. By adding keywords to the control panel provided by the extension, any tweet containing those keywords will be collapsed into a single line of text. For example, a tweet mentioning "Ford" could be filtered to display as "filtered 'Ford' from
Additionally, users can filter specific Twitter usernames, collapsing all tweets or retweets from a particular user. Tweet Filter performs case-insensitive matching of whole words, so adding "Ford" as a keyword will match "ford" but not "Oxford".
It's worth noting that Tweet Filter only accesses the user's Twitter home page to provide its filtering functionality. The extension operates solely within the browser, without injecting ads or communicating with external sites. The user's keywords can be stored in Google's cloud if they are logged into their Chrome browser, making them accessible from other machines when logged in.
Newly added to Tweet Filter is the ability to repair links in Quote Tweets, allowing users to right-click and open links in new tabs.
