Nitter is a free and open source alternative frontend for Twitter, focusing on privacy and performance. Nitter is designed to allow access to Twitter without tracking, advertisements, or the need for an account. It only supports browsing, and cannot be used to sign in or interact with the Twitter community. Users can view user profiles, replies, media, and individual Tweets alongside their comments and Quote Tweets. Nitter also allows for searching by keywords, hashtags, usernames, locations, media and dates and supports the same formatting as Twitter's native advanced search function.

== Features == The user interface is designed to be minimalist and resemble the classic Twitter desktop layout. Since users cannot log in to Twitter through Nitter, Nitter has no notifications, no home feed, and no ability to tweet. By default, Nitter has no infinite scroll, although an experimental feature allows for the usage of infinite scroll. It has no ads or tracking, and the timeline is in chronological order. Nitter relied on a glitch that allowed creating a large amount of "guest accounts" using proxy servers in order to fetch content. It now relies on using registered account tokens to access the site, as Twitter has removed the ability to create guest accounts, and heavily restricts access to logged-out users.
