It's impossible to use Twitter without JavaScript enabled.
For privacy - minded folks, preventing JavaScript analytics
and IP - based tracking is important, but apart from using
a VPN and uBlock / uMatrix, it's impossible.
Despite being behind a VPN and using heavy-duty
ad - blockers, you can get accurately tracked with
your browser's Fingerprint, no JavaScript required.
This all became particularly important after Twitter
removed the ability for users to control whether
their data gets sent to Advertisers.
Using an instance of Nitter, hosted on a VPS for example,
you can browse Twitter without JavaScript while retaining
your privacy.
In addition to respecting your privacy, Nitter is on average
around 15 times lighter than Twitter and in most cases it
serves pages faster ( timelines load 2 - 4 times faster )
In the future a simple account system will be added that
lets you follow Twitter users, allowing you to have a clean
chronological timeline without needing a Twitter account.
