About Homeread
Homeread is a slide-in reader for X/Twitter Home, Search, and Bookmarks. Click a post on those pages and read the thread, replies, quoted posts, media, translations, and long-form article text without leaving the page.
How it works
• On Home, turn Homeread on with the toggle under the left-rail logo. That toggle is home-only and does not appear on Search or Bookmarks.
• Click a post on Home, Search, or Bookmarks. A panel slides in over the current page.
• Scroll the panel to follow the thread and load more replies.
• Close it with Escape, the close button, or the backdrop.
What you can read
• Thread chains from the original post through later posts in the same conversation
• Replies, quoted posts, photos, video, GIFs, and long-form notes
• Verified badges and reply / repost / like / view counts
• On-demand translations when X marks a post as translatable
Where it runs
• Home (/ and /home), Search (/search), and Bookmarks (/i/history, plus the legacy /i/bookmarks URL)
• The left-rail Homeread toggle stays on Home only
• Promoted posts are skipped and never open in the reader
• Profiles, status pages, explore, notifications, and other History tabs (for example Likes) are not intercepted
Controls
• Dock the panel on the left or right
• Regular or expanded width
• Auto, light, or dark theme (auto follows the page)
Privacy
Homeread does not collect, sell, or share personal data. Preferences stay in Chrome local storage. Post data is requested from X/Twitter with your existing logged-in session and is not sent to the developer.
