Hide posts that quote someone else in X/Twitter's For You feed, plus the "Who to follow" block in your Home feed.
- Collapses quote posts of other people's posts in For You to a slim "Quote post hidden" line.
- Keeps original posts, reposts, self-quotes, and direct video-link embeds visible.
- Leaves Following, profiles, search, and post pages untouched.
- Removes the "Who to follow" block from the Home feed, on both tabs. The sidebar box stays.
- Optionally hides posts you already scrolled past, from your next visit on.
- Adds toggle icons next to the For you / Following tabs that apply to every open X tab.
- Makes J / K and Tab skip everything that's hidden.
- Install Violentmonkey or Tampermonkey.
- Click Install X: Hide Quote Posts.
- Approve the installation, then reload any open X tabs.
The userscript checks this repository for updates through its @updateURL.
Open x.com/home. Two icons in the timeline header, next to the tabs, control the filters. Each is blue with a slash while it hides something and grey while it doesn't.
| Icon | Hides | Shown on | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| Quote marks | Quote posts of other people's posts | For you | On |
| Eye | Posts you already scrolled past | For you and Following | Off |
Your choices are remembered across reloads, and other open X tabs switch with them. The "Who to follow" block is always removed from the Home feed.
J / K skip everything that's hidden: when X lands on a hidden post, the script repeats the same key so X moves on to the next visible one. Tab and Shift+Tab skip them too. Going up past the removed "Who to follow" block, X itself needs one extra K press, with or without the script.
With the eye icon on, a post counts as seen once all of it has scrolled up past the top of the screen. Seen posts are hidden completely, with no placeholder, the next time you load the Home feed. Posts you scroll past stay where they are until then, so nothing jumps while you read, open a post, or go back.
Seen posts are remembered for 7 days, up to the 5,000 most recent. A collapsed quote post doesn't count as seen, because you never saw its content. Turning the eye off shows them again and stops recording.
Repeats in the same visit. X sometimes sends a post again a few minutes later and moves it further down the For You feed, so you meet it twice. With the eye icon on, a post X sends again after you already scrolled past it is hidden right away at its new spot. A post X sends again before you reached it stays visible. The script spots these by reading the timeline data X already loads into the page.
A post is hidden when it embeds a quote card or status link from a different author. Only the directly quoted post counts: if that post quotes someone else in turn, the inner quote is ignored. These stay visible:
- Self-quotes, where the quoted post has the same author.
- Direct video embeds, where an explicit
/video/link or X's/i/status/…link sits inside the video player without a quote card. Once recognized, the post stays visible while X swaps the player DOM on hover.
Hidden posts keep a fixed 20 px height, and the script never changes the scroll position, so scrolling stays stable in both directions.
X shows the block as separate feed rows: a heading row, then one row per suggested account. The script collapses every Home feed row that holds an account card, plus the row just before the first one, so it works in any interface language. Only the timeline column is affected.
The script runs entirely in the page. It makes no network requests and uses no userscript manager permissions (@grant none). To spot repeated posts it reads X's own Home timeline responses as they arrive, without changing them or sending them anywhere. It stores everything in your browser's localStorage:
| Key | Contents |
|---|---|
x-hide-quote-posts-enabled |
Quote icon on or off |
x-hide-quote-posts-seen-enabled |
Eye icon on or off |
x-hide-quote-posts-seen |
IDs of posts you scrolled past, with the time, for 7 days. Only recorded while the eye icon is on. |
- It relies on X's page structure, which X changes without notice. If posts stop being hidden, check for an update or open an issue.
- The placeholder text is English only.
- Quotes of deleted or unavailable posts stay visible, because they show no quoted author to compare.
- Tested with Violentmonkey in Chrome. Other managers that support
@grant nonescripts should work but are untested.
There is no build step. The root .user.js file is both the source and the installable script, and it has no dependencies. The tests use linkedom to run the detection code against trimmed copies of real X post markup in fixtures/.
