SelfishTwit is a Chrome and Safari extension designed specifically for antisocial news junkies who find themselves "only reading Twitter for the links." This userstyle extension takes away all the distractions of Twitter and ONLY shows you the links. With SelfishTwit, you cannot tweet, read your @replies, view Twitter Cards, favorite links, or see follower counts. Additionally, tweets in your timeline have no attribution - no profile photos or usernames are displayed. The focus is solely on the links.

One of the key features of SelfishTwit is that it shows you the full URL of external links within your timeline, unlike Twitter.com which truncates them. This is especially useful if you want to bypass Instagram or Foursquare links and quickly access the news or longform writing that you're interested in. Furthermore, when you hover over a link, you can see the full tweet that the link belongs to, providing you with valuable context before clicking.

SelfishTwit can even function as a slightly garbled headline scanner since many CMSes include a blog post's full title at the end of its URL path. If you're looking for a minimalist Twitter experience focused solely on the links shared by others, SelfishTwit is the perfect userstyle extension for you.
