This project has started on June 3th 2012. You can now use it but keep in mind that it is the first release, so it may contain some bugs. update: the project has stopped and since Twitter seems to have changed their HTML structure, the app is no more efficient. Future support is currently not planned.

• scan the DOM on load to remove tweets posted by the muted accounts or containing a muted keyword ;

• muted accounts & keywords can be added or removed from the options page.
