I'd suggest using the Snopyta instance of Nitter, the main one goes down all the time. I'd also suggest using Invidition to redirect all twitter links to your preferred nitter instance.

They have a lot of really wonderful free services. Their hosting is much more stable than anything else I've found, especially for invidious where the main instance is hardly ever working right.

Go to twitter.com. Click the extension > see more > Add a rule for this site > Show advanced. Under "Matching Regex" add an 's' to https so that the redirection work properly. The under "redirect to" add https://nitter.net or other instance you want. Nothing against your extension, just that HTTPS Everywhere comes from the EFF and is a bit more reputable :). You can do that for invidious and bibliogram as well.

(OK, while this is mostly in jest, I mentally scream every time I click on a link to Twitter. I don't mind twitter when it's just a quick visit, but their interface is just so slow and irritating)
While this is in jest, the Firefox extension Invidition does that. It redirects YouTube and Twitter to a user selected Invidious and Nitter instance respectively.

It seems to have very fast initial load times. However, the lack of JS is felt when clicking "read more" buttons. I find it annoying it requires a full load instead of AJAXing the content into place.

Nitter About Page.
An example:
Elon Musk.
In my experience, it's way better way to simply browse twitter without an account.
P.S. just a heads up, to have markdown-style links, you need to remove the space between the display text and the href :)
thanks!

I'm surprised Invisious is able to do that. That's cool but you need to enable js to watch videos right?

Oh okay cool

I understand the answer is "money", but why are websites so intent on ruining the functionality that made them popular in the first place...
