Upgrade your Twitter/X experience with ad + promoted posts blocking. Meme Musk back by redirecting to xcancel, reverting to the media wall or using the old Twitter logo.
Sink It for Twitter/X is a hyper focused Safari extension that makes Twitter/X's web version usable, and more importantly, let's you meme Musk back. Tired of seeing tons of banners and buttons asking you to use the app or login? Sink It silently, and safely, removes all of them too. Removes most of the "promotional" content too!
Additionally, remove those spammy blue check marks as well as go back to using the old, iconic Twitter logo. Take that X!
Privacy First
--------------
Sink It has been built with a privacy first approach.
- All the blocking happens on your device with literally ZERO data being recorded or sent back to be data mined.
- We don't keep usage data like the count of how many popups and banners it has blocked or links it has redirected.
- We don't even come with basic app analytics or telemetry to keep track of how many times you've opened or use the app.
- It does check whether you have dark mode on or not so it can show you the correct tutorial video. (I hate opening a bright video on dark mode as much as you.)
If you're a security researcher, feel free to poke around to make sure the app isn't up to anything funky.
Make the "MODERN" Twitter/X Experience Usable
-------------------------------------------
Sink It for Twitter/X de-clutters and removes most “omfg please use our app” banners and buttons as well as removing advertisements.
Twitter/X, wants me, and by extension you, to use their apps to consume content. Harder for us to block ads and much easier for them to scoop up your data, right? To further that agenda, simply browsing their sites on Safari now means we’re inundated with, well, waves of crap.
It might be a modal covering half the screen with links to the App Store, an immediate popup asking you to login, or a header screaming “the app is 10x better”. Bottomline: it has to go. All of it.
I’ve started using Twitter via safari and a shortcut on my home screen through the shortcuts app (not a PWA!) instead of the browser because this is so much nicer. I could not get the ad/promoted blocking to work without also enabling blocking blue checks, not necessarily the end of the world because I prefer to block blues anyway, but it would be nice to be able to just block ads.
Good but needs an update
SoooManyBugs
Sink it only applies when you refresh Twitter/X. It also doesn't work for embedded tweets which still show that ugly X logo. Hoping this is getting a bit more love.
Promising extension!

i got annoyed with Twitter/X using up like 1gb of space on my phone so decided to delete it and use the web. this extension adds some nice quality of life and add blocking features. would be really great if it would work as a webapp (you have to load it in native safari) but still 5 stars as it does what it promises.

Awesome, but please please add a fix for this new DM nonsense. I can’t even send DMs because the send button gets blocked by twitters bottom UI bar! So garbage, thanks for fixing this site at least
- New feature - **Hide AI content** marked "Made with AI"
- Fixed an issue where videos and GIFs could stall or disappear from the feed
