Bye Bye, Annoying Twitter Login Banner!

TL;DR

Extension that hides login banner on twitter website: Chrome Web Store Link

Why

You must have observed that when you visit twitter, when not logged in, an annoying blue bottom banner appears in your face, asking you to log in.

If you are like me, you probably don't want to login just to see a public post. Also, the login banner is so annoying.

So, I built an extension just for this.

What does this do?

It hides that bottom banner based on your preference. That's it.
If you want to login, you can easily unhide it and login.

Features

  • Hide/Show the bottom login banner in https://www.twitter.com
  • Persist this setting across browser restarts
  • Hide/Show state is synchronized across different tabs and windows where twitter.com is open ON THE SAME DEVICE

Update:

Extension is published now! Chrome Web Store Link

You can also install locally by cloning the repo. Click here for the guide

I have submitted the extension for reviewing to publish it to the Chrom web store.

I will update this post with the link when it gets reviewed and accepted. Did not expect the process of publishing to chrome web store to be so long and tedious!

Also, this is my first browser extension. So, it might have weird non standard code.
