FAQ
How do I install the extension?
Firefox: Click "Add to Firefox" above or visit the Mozilla Add-ons page. Chrome/Edge: Download the .zip, go to chrome://extensions, enable "Developer mode", and click "Load unpacked".
Why does it say "rate limited, waiting..."?
X limits how many API requests can be made per minute. The extension handles this automatically by waiting and retrying. For accounts with many followers, this may take a few cycles.
Can I switch tabs while scanning?
Yes. The extension uses X's internal API via fetch(), which works in background tabs. If the API is unavailable, it falls back to page scrolling, which requires the tab to stay visible.
Does it work with private/protected accounts?
It works with your own account's followers page. You must be logged into X and viewing your followers at x.com/your_username/followers.
How do I clear saved data?
Click "Save Current Followers" again to overwrite the previous baseline with a fresh snapshot. To delete all data, remove the extension from your browser.
