How It Works/Installation

The extension uses a content script that:

▪️Waits for the page to load
▪️Finds the tab element with role="tab" that contains "Following" text
▪️Clicks it if it's not already selected (aria-selected="false")
▪️Monitors for page navigation and repeats the process (Twitter is a SPA)
