Twitter monetizes its platform by including sponsored tweets, sponsored trending topics and sponsored profiles. If you’re a Twitter user who wishes to opt out from these types of sponsored content, then you can do the following steps. Just be reminded that this method will only work if you are viewing Twitter in Chrome.
