## Why
|
||||
|
||||
It's impossible to use Twitter without JavaScript enabled. For privacy-minded
|
||||
folks, preventing JavaScript analytics and IP-based tracking is important, but
|
||||
apart from using a VPN and uBlock/uMatrix, it's impossible. Despite being behind
|
||||
a VPN and using heavy-duty adblockers, you can get accurately tracked with your
|
||||
[browser's fingerprint][Fingerprint],
|
||||
[no JavaScript required][JavaScript]. This all became
|
||||
particularly important after Twitter [removed the
|
||||
ability][Advertisers]
|
||||
for users to control whether their data gets sent to advertisers.
|
||||
It's impossible to use Twitter without JavaScript enabled.
|
||||
|
||||
Using an instance of Nitter (hosted on a VPS for example), you can browse
|
||||
Twitter without JavaScript while retaining your privacy. In addition to
|
||||
respecting your privacy, Nitter is on average around 15 times lighter than
|
||||
Twitter, and in most cases serves pages faster (eg. timelines load 2-4x faster).

|
||||
and IP - based tracking is important, but apart from using <br>
|

a VPN and uBlock / uMatrix, it's impossible.
|
||||
|
||||
In the future a simple account system will be added that lets you follow Twitter
|
||||
users, allowing you to have a clean chronological timeline without needing a
|
||||
Twitter account.

your browser's **[Fingerprint]**, no **[JavaScript]** required.
