📝Other
I am happy to announce that Shadowban Scanner will be available for Firefox for Android starting in December.
Until now, Shadowban Scanner was not available on smartphones because their web browsers did not support extensions. However, that situation is no longer the case.
With the release of Firefox v121 for Android in late December, many PC extensions will be available for smartphones. And Shadowban Scanner is among them!
Shadowban Scanner is already ready to support Firefox for Android and tested to work without any problems, so please wait for the December Firefox update!
Disclaimer
The developer of Shadowban Scanner is not involved in the development of Firefox, and the Firefox development team is not involved in the development of Shadowban Scanner. Inquiries about Shadowban Scanner should be directed to ろぼいん (roboin) for inquiries about Shadowban Scanner, and the Firefox developer for inquiries about Firefox.
The specific timing of when Shadowban Scanner will be available for Firefox for Android may change depending on the development status of Firefox.
Only Firefox for Android will be newly supported from December. Shadowban Scanner will continue to be compatible with PC web browsers that have been available up to now, but there are no plans to support other web browsers or Firefox for iOS.
What is Shadowban Scanner?
Shadowban Scanner is an extension that allows you to check Twitter’s so-called shadowban and sensitive judgments on the fly without having to go to an external site.
Shadowban Scanner can be downloaded from the following links:
Just install it on your web browser and you will have access to the following features
- Per-account shadowban and sensitive flag detection
- Sensitive flag detection for profile media (icons and header images)
- Detection of sensitive flags per tweet
- Detect age restrictions on tweets
- Add buttons to show hidden tweets
All processing is done on the user’s computer. There is no communication with external servers or access to Twitter’s internal APIs to obtain your credentials without your permission, as is the case with some extensions. Your data and privacy are protected.
Shadowban Scanner is available in the latest versions of Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Mozilla Firefox for PCs. For technical reasons, it is not available on smartphones (except Firefox for Android).
