Twitter Trends killed my cat
I hate Twitter Trends. Trends is one of those things that in theory is a good idea, but, in practice, opens us up to a world of pain.
Since I still do a fair amount of browsing Twitter in the ol’ browser, I made a Chrome Extension that hides Twitter Trends on the Twitter.com website.
Installation
Download the extension. Then, open it – Chrome should walk you through the rest of the installation.
Technical Notes about the Extension
It’s really simple: The extension simply loads extra CSS which hides the Trends div on the Twitter.com page. On the plus side, it allowed me to write the extension in a minute. On the negative side, if Twitter changes the name of this div, the extension will be out of date. I’ll likely release an update if something changes in the future.
Enjoy!
