Twitter trying to block you from scrolling threw more than a small handful of tweets without being logged in

Just use Nitter already. I even wrote a guide that even the biggest idiot on earth could understand.

Twitter is a horrid, feminist organization that we should starve of clicks as much as possible. To that end, here is a short tutorial of how Nitter works.
For example, if you're looking to link the Twitter of the Ferrari F1 team, you would use Nitter like this.
https://nitter.net/ScuderiaFerrari
Nitter links follow a simple format, where a Tweet's link is nearly the same except you switch out everything before the backslash and after the https.
So, for our example, we would take this link :
https://mobile.twitter.com/scuderiaferrari
Then change it like this
https://
mobile.twitter.comnitter.net/scuderiaferrariThis gives us the same page, but without Twitter trackers or ads, as well as the pop-ups for not having an account.
For a specific Tweet, for example, (staying on the theme) this picture of a Ferrari racing car in testing :
https://mobile.twitter.com/ScuderiaFerrari/status/1497218938765197324
We do the same thing, just swap the mobile.twitter.com for nitter.net and then submit.

Simple, right? Nitter links are not the same as archives, the content is deleted if Twitter removes it. The advantage of them is that they can be used without waiting for an archive to process, which takes a few minutes, and that they can load video.
Can you "follow" people on Nitter and get a chronological timeline? I know there's a privacy oriented YouTube app that does something similar for YouTube. I haven't had any use for Twatter since they got rid of the chronological timeline and started promoting shit from people I don't follow.
Unfortunately, no. It's just a bypass that strips Twitter's tracking and account locks.
FIX: I clicked "sign up" than hit back on the browser and that seems to be working so far.
Yep I been hitting sign up then back and it has been working for weeks.
That is the trick!
Use the "Breakthrough Twitter Login Wall" plugin
Firefox
Chrome
Or use this Nitter redirector:

Or use https://github.com/JustOff/dismiss-the-overlay or https://addons.palemoon.org/addon/url-rewriter/
What about Brave?
I'm a luddite.
Does Brave even have extensions and plug-in support?
Brave is Chromium-based so its just like how you install them on Chrome.

Awesome.
Thanks.
I guess I should have done the slightest bit of research myself, lol.
I just assumed Brave was an entirely new, slimmed down ecosystem.
So I exclusively use Brave's mobile browser on Android and it doesn't seem to have extension support whatsoever.
Thanks anyway!
IIRC the only mobile browser that supports extensions is Firefox, and even then the support is limited to a small subset of FF's ecosystem. It does have uBlock Origin at least.
This is why we use nitter, we need to get the word out on this site, or even better an automated system that detects Twitter links and asks if you want to convert them before posting.
Mine started doing that months ago. I just started using Nitter once I found it and glad it exists.
Reddit does it to me too if I want to look at any unpopular sub-reddits on my phone, it will give me a message about how I need to log in because it's a unapproved community or something like that.
Exact same thing started happening to me last night despite Incognito Mode and clearing cookies.
Wonder if Canadian IPs are being targeted somehow.
