Minimal Theme for the new Twitter UI – install now!
This theme aims to drastically simplify and declutter the new Twitter UI. By default:
- No border on main feed
- Hidden navigation labels (shown on hover)
- Navigation pushed to left side of window
- No trends or “Who to Follow” on Home Page
- Search on top right
- Tweet button on bottom right.
- Chrome Extension
- Firefox Extension
- Safari Extension (see below for instructions)
To install Minimal Twitter on Safari, just follow the below instructions:
- Download the the Minimal Twitter GitHub repository
- Unzip the zipped Minimal Twitter file that you just downloaded.
- Go to Safari > Preferences and click on the Advanced tab.
- Check the box "Show Develop menu in menu bar"
- Now, go to Develop > Show Extension Builder
- Click the + button > Add Extension
- Go to the unzipped Minimal Twitter and select the
twitter.safariextension
folder. - Click run
Why is this unofficial? Well... Official Safari extensions require me to have Apple Developer Program membership and create a Apple developer certificate. Because Apple Developer membership costs $99 + tax a year, unforunately, I can't add an official extension right now (too broke).
