The developers charged with maintaining Twitter stay awake at night, devising new irritants. Here’s how to avoid the madness, even on iOS devices.
Twitter, like InstaGram, appears determined to escalate user irritations at every turn. Excessive ads grow, complete with near seizure-inducing videos.

Desktop access includes multiple remedies, via magical Chrome extensions. But iOS remedial options flirt with nonexistence. The work-around, for iPad purposes? Freebie TweetDeck, a web-based gem. There, you’ll find filters killing retweets, likes, and ads, joined by word and phrase targeting filtering. In short, Twitter —as it should be.
