+## Why?
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+It's basically impossible to use Twitter without JavaScript enabled. If you try,
|
|
|
+you're redirected to the legacy mobile version which is awful both functionally
|
|
|
+and aesthetically. For privacy-minded folks, preventing JavaScript analytics and
|
|
|
+potential IP-based tracking is important, but apart from using the legacy mobile
|
|
|
+version and a VPN, it's impossible.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+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.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+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.
