X Feed Xchange is a Firefox browser extension that lets you simulate the Twitter (X) home feed of another public user — in a safe, read-only mode.
No likes. No replies. Just the raw feed — as they see it.
🔒 Designed for ethical use only — ideal for developers, researchers, and hackathon demos.
Twitter (X) generates a personalized feed for every user based on who they follow, like, mute, and interact with.
This extension allows you to:
- View another user’s home feed using their session tokens
- Do so without logging in or interacting with the platform
- Browse in a completely read-only environment
Think of it like “View Only” mode in Google Docs — but for X feeds.
- ✅ Copy your own Twitter session tokens (auth + CSRF)
- ✅ Input another user’s tokens (with their permission)
- ✅ Load their home timeline inside Firefox
- ✅ Hide distracting UI (sidebars, tweet boxes, etc.)
- ✅ Disable all interactions (retweets, likes, replies)
- ✅ Fully read-only and safe for demo or research use
Enter your tokens or a friend’s to load the feed in read-only mode.
- All buttons like Like, Retweet, Reply are disabled
- You see exactly what the other person would see
- UI is stripped down for focused viewing
- Open Firefox and go to:
about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox - Click “Load Temporary Add-on”
- Select the
manifest.jsonfile in your extension folder
⚠️ This loads the extension temporarily — it will disappear after you restart Firefox.
