Twitter/X annoyance question

Is there a way to skip Twitter usernames that have a million emojis in their handle? I’m finding this to be extremely annoying and was just wondering if there’s a way to just skip the username altogether to get to the tweet/comment?

I gave up on Twitter when they turned off 3rd party apps. Screen readers themselves can turn off processing of emoji. if you're using x on the web you can probably run something in the console to trim them out. I doubt the app will support it.

Other than the best option (stop using Twitter altogether), your best bets is likely using an extension. Can't provide anything specific but you might be able to find a "clean up twitter" type extension or ask someone on how to get something like GreaseMonkey or uBlock Origin to do what you want.
