My solution works fine on Android
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.
Orrr, another solution is... what, class?
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.
