Why? It's impossible to use Twitter without JavaScript enabled, and as of 2024 you need to sign up. For privacy-minded folks, preventing JavaScript analytics and IP-based tracking is important, but apart from using a VPN and uBlock/uMatrix, it's impossible. Despite being behind a VPN and using heavy-duty adblockers, you can get accurately tracked with your browser's fingerprint, no JavaScript required. This all became particularly important after Twitter removed the ability for users to control whether their data gets sent to advertisers. 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 most cases serves pages faster (eg. timelines load 2-4x 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. Screenshot Installation Dependencies libpcre libsass redis/valkey To compile Nitter you need a Nim installation, see nim-lang.org for details. It is possible to install it system-wide or in the user directory you create below. To compile the scss files, you need to install libsass. On Ubuntu and Debian, you can use libsass-dev. Redis is required for caching and in the future for account info. As of 2024 Redis is no longer open source, so using the fork Valkey is recommended. It should be available on most distros as redis or redis-server (Ubuntu/Debian), or valkey/valkey-server. Running it with the default config is fine, Nitter's default config is set to use the default port and localhost. Here's how to create a nitter user, clone the repo, and build the project along with the scss and md files. # useradd -m nitter # su nitter $ git clone https://github.com/zedeus/nitter $ cd nitter $ nimble -l build -d:danger --mm:refc $ nimble -l scss $ nimble -l md $ cp nitter.example.conf nitter.conf Set your hostname, port, HMAC key, https (must be correct for cookies), and Redis info in nitter.conf. To run Redis, either run redis-server --daemonize yes, or systemctl enable --now redis (or redis-server depending on the distro). Run Nitter by executing ./nitter or using the systemd service below. You should run Nitter behind a reverse proxy such as Nginx or Apache for security and performance reasons. Docker Page for the Docker image: https://hub.docker.com/r/zedeus/nitter NOTE: The published image is multi-arch — zedeus/nitter:latest runs natively on both amd64 and arm64.
