    My solution works fine on Android

    1. Delete the Twitter app.
    2. Open the site in Firefox Mobile
    3. Open the Firefox menu and choose Install
    4. Install uBlock Origin into Firefox

    Now you have a launcher icon for Twitter that opens in Firefox and has all the ads stripped out. I believe there is even a “Twitter Control Panel” add on that will remove a lot of the remaining clickbait from the page too - what’s trending etc.

      But then I’d have that terrible X logo on my phone instead of the much-less-terrible bird logo.

      I have yet to update to any version of the app that uses that logo.

        Use Mastadon or some other social media platform. Not always a choice and if you’re stuck with Twitter you might as well ensure you’re not enriching the platform.
