Twitter Demetricator
Twitter Demetricator hides all the metrics on Twitter. Follower, like, and retweet counts all disappear. The result lets you try out Twitter without the numbers, to see what happens when you can no longer judge yourself or others in metric terms.
Twitter Demetricator: Experience Twitter Without the Numbers
Twitter Demetricator is a Firefox add-on, created to alter the way users interact with Twitter. By hiding all visible metrics, like followers, likes, and retweets, it shapes a unique Twitter experience. The aim is to disrupt the often unconscious sway social media metrics have on user behavior, inviting users to evaluate how these numbers affect their online interaction or content selection.

Hasn't been updated since 2023 and does not seem to work anymore. Really loved this addon when it did.

This is my favourite extension for Twitter as a creator. It really saves me the dread of logging on to notifications. I know it's a lot of work but I hope the developer can update it as it has stopped working since June 2024 :)
