Nitter.net is so much better -- comically better -- than Twitter's site. I'm on a somewhat slow computer right now, and loading a Twitter user's channel (sorry I can't remember the correct Twitter slang) takes like 3-4 seconds on Nitter, and like 10 seconds on Twitter. And scrolling on Twitter is supper choppy, on Nitter it's just normal. Twitter's frontend code could be a good one for thedailywtf.com.
It's insanely better. I enabled the Twitter theme, and it felt creepy how much smoother it was _while having the same interface_! I wish that I could login/view my feed :( I would 100% switch if I could.
If it's API restrictions, they should create a browser extension! Maybe someday Firefox mobile will allow add-ons again :(

Huh? Firefox on Android does support addons. There's only a small subset of them available by default but you can enable support for all addons as well although you'll have to use Fennec or Mull from FDroid for that.
Go to the "About Fennec" menu and tap the logo several times to enable the hidden "Custom Add-on collection" menu. Create an account on Mozilla Add-ons website and add all the addons you like. Use the profile ID to add the collection in the hidden menu you unlocked.
Yeah, I know, using addons shouldn't be so convoluted.
I wouldn't hold my breath, mainly because Google has already stiffled Mozilla from publishing in the Play Store due to, apparently, downloading addons constitute "malicious behaviour" back in Firefox 68.
So the restricted addons is specifically because they reviewed that subset personally and thus is, at least for Goog's policies, okay.
(Yes, I'm aware of Kiwi browser. Says a lot about app store moderation.)
Is there a browser addon that would turn twitter links into nitter links automatically on click?
I access twitter only via links usually, when someone refers to a tweet.
A quick test by replacing "tw" with "n" in the URL led to "not found", so apparently it's not that easy.
Edit: Reading capability is a clear advantage. It's .net, not .com, actually it works. Though editing is less comfortable now, so question still remains valid :)
