#2What I really want is an extension that will let me open a retweet by right clicking and opening it in new tab. That way I don't lose my scroll position and can get a collection of things I want to read. I went looking for such a thing but couldn't find it.
I did find Control Panel for Twitter though, which is a great improvement.

Does middle-clicking the tweet not open it in a new tab?

#5I'm surprised to see this, because for all its flaws, Twitter is one of the very few apps that don't lose scroll position for me on either the web or the mobile app.

#6Also need an extension that would block the 'feature' of pausing the video when you scroll it out of view.
I swear these brain-dead social media websites get stupider every year. Worse yet, they pick up each other's bad habits (Tiktok -> Twitter -> Instagram in this case it went)

They’re optimizing their apps for scrolling as many ads into the viewport as possible, hence pausing videos as they exit the viewport. Everything that is not an ad is a distraction from ads.

Same here, even after scrolling pretty far (on For you) if I click to open a post(?) and then the "left arrow" to go back to the feed my position is usually the same.

You can also right click on the date (next to the username), that is a proper link which has the open in new tab option.
