quote [ 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 some cases serves pages faster. ]
Seeing that many platforms host the actual content as a single line of JSON between megabytes of laggy scripts it seemed only a matter of time before something like this would take foot.
Simply parsing HTML pages is not only faster but more reliant than connecting to APIs. Sadly, it's also being obstructed already.

Main link is SE twitter as rendered by Nitter. You can pass any username to load the feed in this alternative frontend.
