X Follower Remover
What it does
X Follower Remover helps you clean up your follower list on X (x.com) using a CSV you upload. The extension visits each profile while you are logged in, then removes them as followers — with optional unfollow.
Important: This extension does not collect, download, or export your following or followers lists from X. It only works on usernames from a CSV or list you provide (for example a file you created, or a CSV you exported with another tool).
- Load a CSV queue you upload (any username list, or a multi-column export such as X Cleaner)
- Export CSV preserves all original columns (e.g.
is_blue, bio, counts) for remaining queue users - Edit list shows the full multi-column CSV at the same size as the queue preview
- Does not fetch or harvest following/followers lists from X
- Manual mode (press → to advance) or full automation
- Pause, resume, and pick up exactly where you left off after restarting Chrome
- Configurable delay + jitter between actions
- Live remaining count and activity log
- Uses your normal logged-in browser session — no passwords or API keys
v0.76.2 highlights: Edit list is full multi-column CSV (same columns as Export) and matches the queue list height · Export still preserves every uploaded column · Automate defers open failures · Fast early relationship skip. See the changelog for full history.
Get the extension
Add to Chrome Chrome Web Store — automatic updates- Chrome Safe Browsing warning: After clicking “Add to Chrome”, you may see a message that “This extension is not trusted by Enhanced Safe Browsing”. This is completely normal for new publishers on the Chrome Web Store. Google requires a 90-day history before extensions from new publishers are fully trusted by Enhanced Safe Browsing. The extension is safe — it’s the same code we’ve been using and testing.
- Use the web version of X at x.com — not the mobile app.
- You must be logged into the account whose followers you want to remove.
- Removals are real and irreversible through this tool.
- Start with a small test batch and delays of 20+ seconds. X may rate-limit aggressive automation.
- Caution — Unfollow mode: Even in manual mode, unfollowing too many accounts too quickly is dangerous and can lead to rate limits, restrictions, or suspension. The free tier limit of 10 removals per 24h does not apply in manual mode. Pace yourself very carefully and use long delays (30s+ recommended). There is also a separate 10 unfollows/hour safety limit.

Download sample-followers.csvThe loader auto-detects the username column by header name (prefersusername,handle,screen_name,user,loginetc.) or by scanning for valid handle-like values. Works with most 3rd-party exports and full X Cleaner CSVs. All columns are preserved on Export CSV under original header names. Display may truncate bio in the panel UI only. - Set your delay (cooldown). 20 seconds or more is recommended.
- Choose your mode:
- Manual — leave Automate unchecked; press → on the X tab to advance each profile.
- Automate — check Automate; the extension handles remove/confirm dialogs.
- Unfollow — optional. Removes the follower and unfollows the account. Warning: Even in manual mode this is risky if done too quickly or in large numbers. The 10-per-24h free tier limit does not apply in manual mode.
- Click Start / Resume and watch the X tab. Use Pause any time.
Open Control Panel vs Resume in Panel
Open Control Panel — fresh start. Automate and Unfollow are reset; session is paused. You choose settings and click Start.
Resume in Panel — shown when you have users left in the queue. Restores saved settings and continues automatically if a session was running.
After closing Chrome
Your queue and settings are saved. Reopen Chrome, log into X, click the extension icon, then Resume in Panel (or Open Control Panel) and Start / Resume if paused.
Troubleshooting
- Extension not appearing — after adding from the store, click the puzzle icon in the toolbar and pin it.
- Safe Browsing note — you may see “This extension is not trusted by Enhanced Safe Browsing.” This is normal for new publishers on the Chrome Web Store. Google requires a 90-day period before extensions from new publishers are trusted by Enhanced Safe Browsing. The extension is safe.
- No X account detected — open x.com while logged in, then click Claim / Use open X tab.
- Nothing happens — load a CSV first.
- Paused after 10 unfollows/hour — safety limit (applies in both manual and automate when Unfollow is enabled); wait or confirm when prompted.
- Free tier limit (10 removes / 24h) — subscribe to @d2fl for unlimited, or wait for the lockout to expire.
