Worked great for a week, now I get nothing but "Instance has been rate limited. Use another instance or try again later." Tried reinstalling, using Nitter and Nitter redirect, same problem.

To fix Nitter you can manually edit each bookmark URL you want to change with a new Nitter instance or do the following for a bulk change: 1) Copy working instance of Nitter at https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/wiki/Instances 2) Install "Bookmark URl Batch Replacer" extension from Chrome Web Store 3) Open extension 4) Enter existing URl text to replace in the "Regex Pattern" input box 5) Enter new URL in the "Replacement" input box (For example: enter "nitter.net" in pattern box and "nitter.moomoo.me" in replacement box) 6) Check "g" for global change in the "Flag" section 7) Click "Preview" button 8) Click option box next to "Name" to select all or select them individually (Default to replace is ten at a time. see dropdown box on bottom of page to choose up to 100 at a time) 9) Click the "Effect" button to change selected URL's 10) Get to work!

Safety

Risk impact

Nitter Redirect is very risky to use and it requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Avoid installing this extension unless you absolutely trust this publisher.
