https://nitter.net/ Still works for me. If you use a popular browser, you will probably see them try to block you from accessing it because of an outdated certificate. Isn't that annoying? Or is for "our safety"?

Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue

Firefox detected an issue and did not continue to nitter.net. The website is either misconfigured or your computer clock is set to the wrong time.

It’s likely the website’s certificate is expired, which prevents Firefox from connecting securely.

What can you do about it?

nitter.net has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Firefox can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site.

The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it. You can notify the website’s administrator about the problem.

You can’t add an exception to visit this site.

Is Firefox protecting you for "your safety" or are they blocking you from visiting websites you wanted to see? I never made financial transactions on nitter or Twitter and it's a public social-media, not secret communications, so I don't need them to tell me if the encryption certificate is up-to-date.

Older versions of Firefox gave the option to proceed anyway. Other older browsers still work with nitter.net.

u/Budget-song-budget posted something similar.

Firefox went downhill ever since 3.6.3
