A bookmarklet that shows the current Twitter page on Nitter. On every click it, chooses a random Nitter instance:
javascript:h=['nitter.it','nitter.snopyta.org','nitter.net'];window.location.host=h[Math.floor(Math.random()*h.length)];
I like Twitter, but I am usually not logged in when I read a tweet. And then Twitter shows a nag screen after a bit of reading, and then I manually change to Nitter. This bookmarklet automates it.
Since Nitter instances are overloaded sometimes, it chooses a random Nitter instance every time you click it.
If you are new to bookmarklets, here is how they work:
- 1: Bookmark some page. It does not matter which one.
- 2: Edit the Bookmark and replace the URL with the "javascript:h=[...]" line above, including the "javascript:", up to the final ";". Give it a nice name.
- 3: It works :) Every time you click the bookmark, it will select a random Nitter instance to show the current tweet.
Turns out there also is a simple two-click solution to read Twitter when not logged in.
When getting the nag screen, click on "Log in" and then click the "X". Boom! You can continue reading:
