Prevent Twitter from turning your "ASP.NET" text in tweet box into a link.

Plain ASP.NET Text for Twitter (Chrome/Vivaldi/Firefox Extension)

Experimental - I started this simple project to serve my own purpose.

Prevent Twitter from turning your "ASP.NET" text in tweet box into a link. This extension will help you copy "ASP.NET" text to the clipboard. Simply paste it into the tweet box and Twitter won't turn it into a link.

Setup

• Chrome/Vivaldi
  Follow instruction here to load the extension:
  https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/getstarted
  Select src as the extension directory.
  

• Firefox
  Follow instruction here to load the extension:
  https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Temporary_Installation_in_Firefox
  Select src as the extension directory.

How to use

• Popup
  • Go to https://twitter.com/.
  • Click the extension icon.
    
  • Click "Copy ASP.NET text to clipboard" and then simply paste it into the tweet box.
  • You can also click the overlay at the top-right corner of the page.
    
    
    

How does it work

It works by inserting zero width space character (\u200B) to trick the URL parser.
