I found this to be extremely annoying as well. I tried to block the trending container but it keeps being on some subpages.

It is absolutely annoying, but I think it’s a result of Twitter using react-native-web and not (primarily) an obfuscation tactic

uBlock Origin can block network requests too. These rules should block requests to trending hashtags and recommended user accounts:

  ||twitter.com/i/api/2/guide.json$xhr,1p
  ||twitter.com/i/api/1.1/users/recommendations.json$xhr,1p

Alternatively you can use nitter.net to browse Twitter

Thank you! Didn’t know that this was possible, I’ll give it a try!
