nitter.cc - Free GUI replacement for Twitter
In connection with Twitter's policy of imposing JavaScript, enthusiasts have developed Nitter, a free frontend for Twitter that works without imposing JavaScript, analytics, trackers and resources on the side of Google, CloudFlare and other third-party services. The project code is written in the Nim language and is distributed under the AGPLv3 license.

Features of the project:
No JavaScript or Ads
All requests go through the backend, the client does not communicate with Twitter. The backend does not have to be run on your own hardware; enthusiasts support several dozen publicly available servers for connection.
Prevents Twitter from tracking the user's IP address and browser fingerprint.
Uses the unofficial Twitter API (without restrictions on the frequency of requests and without having a developer account, but with the prospect of receiving a "Cease & Desist" letter or immediately legal action).
Lightweight (for @nim_lang, 60KB instead of 784KB from twitter.com).
RSS feeds.
Themes.
Support for mobile devices (responsive design).
For example, here is the result of my request
