Based on people you follow and location, Twitter shows trends and suggestions to you, these are personalized and tailored to you. On old Twitter, before we’re able to block “Who to Follow” and Trends without affecting search bar by using UBlock Origin’s “Block element” feature, we’re not able to do that on new twitter layout by using the popular adblocker extension.
We still trying to figure out how we can use Twitter regularly without distractions, we’ve covered an extension that keeps the search bar and hides suggestions and trends on the right sidebar, but we don’t like the Dim theme and the extension, however, works best only when used with that background.
When we contacted the UBO developer Gorhill about the issue, he provided a filter to us and it solved the issue.
If you’re using Ublock Origin in Chrome or Firefox or Vivaldi browser or Chromium Edge.
1. Click on the UBO icon on the toolbar and click on the last icon below the big blue or gray colored button to open the dashboard
2. Click on “My Filters” and paste the following and click “Apply changes”.
twitter.com##.r-1ovo9ad ~ *
3. Now visit the Twitter website in the browser, ensure you’re already signed into it to spot the changes.
This works on my side (remove backslash):
twitter.com##.r-1ovo9ad ~ *
