Notes

twitter.com##span:has-text(Want to log):upward(7)
twitter.com##body:style(overflow-y: scroll !important)
work if your UI language is English, but better to use more universal filter.

intent/follow is a URL for following users. I don't think the modal on this page should be hidden. On regular profile pages, yeah.

There is No, thanks button so what you called annoyance is dismissable why need filter then?

[krystian3w]

Locked scroll so not for Fanboy Annoyance @ghajini

[Yuki2718]

@llacb47 I'm not sure - if a user wanna follow, can't he still do this by logging in and taking an action? I don't use Twitter so use follow buttons only to see Tweets but not to follow if there's no other link to an owner's Twitter.

I'd say such filters could easily break twitter "tomorrow" and we have no, thanks button as @ghajini said.

I have no idea what the "tomorrow" is, but got it.

[krystian3w]

Problematic is language specific, no works with other than English.

IMO stable:

<a href="/i/flow/signup" dir="auto" role="link" data-focusable="true" >

##a[href="/i/flow/signup"][dir="auto"][role="link"][data-focusable="true"]:upward(7)

@DandelionSprout / @yourduskquibbles can you test pop-up after logon on real account (maybe worth for Web Annoyances Ultralist or 🚪 Browse websites without logging in)?

Yuki forgot to mention that it could only be triggered with a mobile useragent; as a desktop useragent instead showed a completely different standalone fullpage for me at that example page.

Under which circumstances would https://twitter.com/intent/follow?screen_name=mesitsu be accessed through casual web browsing? Is it e.g. used in biography/company SoMe links? Or can it only be accessed through whichever type of Follow button on Twitter?

You're right, it's mobile UA only. It was accessed from a follow button bottom of this page:
