Simple Filter for your Twitter timeline

Not interested in reading about some topics on your Twitter timeline? You can just remove them, automatically, with this technique.
I use Twitter to follow some topics - mostly technology, art, some politics and a few other random things. Some topics I choose not to follow on twitter, and instead choose to read about in a newspaper (an editorial, or article with a byline)

So, created the following Greasemonkey script. This should have been a two minute endeavour, but minimal competence in Javascript, it took me a while to figure out things.

How you can use this, from within your desktop browser:

• Install GreaseMonkey for Firefox, or TamperMonkey for Chrome / Opera
• Copy the entire script, and paste it as a new script in these addons
• Reload Twitter.
• You shouldn't be seeing tweets, that match your filter terms / topics.
