So today I clicked a twitter link because companies like to use it for official announcements, only to be greeted with a login page. Was annoyed then I remembered nitter exists. It just prompted me to install Privacy Redirect which I should have done ages ago.
Github: https://github.com/SimonBrazell/privacy-redirect
Chrome Web Store: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/privacy-redirect/pmcmeagblkinmogikoikkdjiligflglb/related
Firefox Browser Add-ons: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/privacy-redirect/
Looks like twitter waited for the reddit API changes to do push this change to try to do it under the radar.
privacy redirect is good, but unmaintained, I recommend libredirect because its updated and it supports every site privacy redirect supports + much more + it can test speeds and fetch instances and it can create custom redirects if you want to
If my understanding on the topic is correct then nitter won't function anymore.
Edit: yeah, it's dead
Well, at least this feature works:
If a bitter instance is logged in for you it should work. But maybe they can trick earth with pretending to embed
