Nitter is an open-source Android application, an alternative front-end client for Twitter, with a focus on privacy. This tool allows users to access and interact with content without directly connection to servers, preventing tracking IP addresses or JavaScript fingerprints.
Privacy
The utility prioritizes your privacy by eliminating ads, serving tweets through proxies, and preventing Twitter from tracking your data. Unlike the official app, Nitter does not have rate limits or require a developer account to access its features. You do not need to create a profile or log in. It is possible to access and view content without revealing your identity.
Communication
With the app, users can view, like, retweet, and reply to tweets, just as they would on the Twitter platform itself. There is an option to follow accounts and receive updates without the need to expose your personal information. Moreover, the utility offers a search feature that allows people to look for posts, profiles, and hashtags. In addition, Nitter generates previews for shared links.
You can tailor your experience by choosing between light and dark themes, adjusting font sizes, and selecting preferred language settings. Furthermore, this app is significantly lighter than Twitter, making it faster and more efficient. Nitter can be used as a separate app to isolate your cookies and browsing history.
This tool is licensed under AGPLv3 and is open source. Therefore its code is publicly available for reviews and contributions.
