I've stopped using the timeline entirely: I follow nobody and create private lists of the people I'd like to keep up with. When you view a list the tweets show up in chronological order and as a bonus, you don't see promoted tweets.

List functionality operates annoyingly different from timeline functionality though. In the TL, if I click out, it remembers where I left off.

With lists, if I swipe out, it loses my place.

Small issue but it puts a hamper on me using lists.

really? One of my major gripes with twitter is I'll be about 20 (ajax loaded) pages down the timeline, click on some retweet or name, and lose my place. At best it takes me to the bottom of the first page. What browser/os are you using?

Have you tried Tweetdeck? It has ads but it fixes the chronological timelines and helps keep up with multiple lists.
