X Unfollower is a Chrome extension from xtensions.pro that does one job well: cleaning up your following list on X (Twitter). Instead of manually reviewing hundreds of accounts, you open the extension on your X profile, set smart filters, and let it unfollow in bulk – or pick accounts off the refined list one by one.
The filters cover the usual cleanup criteria: maximum inactive days (drop accounts that have gone quiet), minimum follower count (skip tiny accounts), and an optional protection that keeps people who follow you back safe from the purge. The same mechanism works in reverse: open it on another user’s profile and it becomes a smart follow tool, letting you follow accounts that match your filters. The Chrome Web Store listing shows 3,000 users and a 3.5-star rating across 42 ratings.
Pricing could not be simpler: the extension is free on the Chrome Web Store with

The trade-offs: it is X-only and unfollow/follow-only – there is no scheduling, analytics or inbox; bulk unfollowing on X always carries some platform rate-limit risk that the extension cannot remove; and the 3.5-star store rating suggests mixed experiences. For anyone whose X following list has grown stale and wants it trimmed by rules rather than by hand, X Unfollower is a quick, free fix.
Who it's for
Best for
- X (Twitter) users who want to clean up a stale following list by rules instead of manual review.
Not ideal for
- Teams needing full social media management (scheduling
- inbox
- analytics)
- users on platforms other than X
- and anyone wary of bulk-action rate limits on their account.
How we tested
This listing was prepared through desk research by the AppsInsight editorial team. X Unfollower has no standalone marketing site; its official source is its Chrome Web Store listing (chromewebstore.google.com, ID aekapeghhlcblpdcahndmoggepeccmok), reviewed as of September 2026. The extension is published by xtensions.pro, shows 3,000 users and 3.5 stars from 42 ratings, and lists no pricing or in-app purchases, so we record it as free. The icon and screenshots are the official assets from that listing. We did not conduct hands-on product testing; all feature details are drawn from the vendor's published listing. Ratings reflect editorial judgment based on those documented capabilities.
