If you use Twitter at all then you’ve probably suffered from having to wade through unwanted & tiresome tweets from accounts that you can do without. Twitter provides a mechanism for blocking accounts, but wading through the procedure for doing so is time consuming & not very intuitive. This is where the Twitter One Click Block extension can come in handy.
This useful extension is free & works in your Chrome browser. Once you’ve installed it, it does 1 simple thing, which is adding an icon of a circle with a slash through it on every tweet, right next to heart (like) button. The icon enables the possibility of blocking, by clicking on it – the user account that posted that tweet.
If you want to block an account the old fashioned way, you 1st have to click on the @account to go to the profile, then click on the gear icon, select ‘Block’ from the menu, & finally click on ‘Block’ to confirm. This can get tiresome really fast if you want to block more than 1 account, & even if you just do it once in a while, it’s not easy to remember how to do it.
The extension has been released by Web designer & developer A7med, who has also developed a couple of other interesting Chrome extensions: ‘Emoji for Twitter’, which adds Emojis to your tweets, ‘Tumblr Disable Video Autoplay’ & ‘Vertical Twitch’, to enable a vertically placed chat window for watching Twitch streams.
Not much info is available on A7med’s identity. Curiously, his twitter account has him listed as living in “None of your business land” & all his tweets protected, so you’ll have to follow him if you want to see them. It may be worthwhile doing so if the quality of this extension is any indication of how he rolls.
