You can add this as a bookmark in your browser, and just click it to toggle between x.com and xcancel.com javascript:(function(){const p=['https://x.com','https://xcancel.com'],u=location.href,i=p.findIndex(x=>u.startsWith(x));if(i!==-1)location.href=p[(i+1)%p.length]+u.slice(p[i].length)})();
I do something similar since I don't want to trust yet another extension, I made a small Tampermonkey script.
Twitter used to have a mobile version which was almost usable compared to regular, what happened to that? Doesn't seem to be working or it's actively redirecting me back to regular.
This is generally sad. People hate a service, but they depend on it so much they create whole codebases to cope with it. Depending on things we hate is a tragedy. How about just admitting the things you hate? Then you can just drop it and live a happier life. Unless you are of course somehow required/forced to use X, then I'm all for projects like these.
Unfortunately the alternatives aren't much better. Bluesky now does the same BS where they demand an account if you just want to read replies to a tweet or whatever they call that at bluesky. And there is no bskycancel.com yet.
A bigger problem with BS is the rabid and - to use a phrase often used by them - toxic user base which seems to derive energy from pouring its frenzied opinions on whatever Trump, Musk and those in their general surroundings are supposed to be guilty of. If there was ever a case of the pot telling the kettle it is black it is the b.s. pouring out of a substantial fraction of the denizens of BS who have turned the place into what they accuse X of being and then some.
I used to have an extension per each domain then I've decided to publish regurlator https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/regurlator/jfgfmidm... ... this case would be like `^https:\/\/(?:x|twitter)\.com\/(.+)?$` `https://xcancel.com/$1` so you have a single extension with as many rules as you like and you can download/share/restore rules with ease (it's just a JSON file).

Agree. I have the X domain blacklisted in my Pihole. Remember when Reddit mods made a whole show of virtue signaling about banning links to X, but most of those same subreddits’ top content (and 20% of the front page) was screenshots of X? A lot of people are unwilling to withstand even a bit of discomfort to stand up for their supposed principles.
it doesnt sound sustainable anyway, you would need somebody to go through each post to check for twitter screenshots. blocking a certain domain is automated, i would imagine

Most of the social media websites now hide content behind a login. It really sucks with so many restaurants that put their menu only on Facebook.

No they don’t. That is an opt-in setting that a user can put on their profile to only have logged in users see their content. The default is open viewing.
