Block Ad accounts on X (Twitter) | UserScript | Tampermonkey

This is a Tampermonkey userscript designed to automatically block advertising accounts on X (formerly Twitter). The script identifies promoted tweets labeled "Ad" on the platform, then programmatically clicks through the interface to block each advertiser account, storing the blocked accounts in the browser's local storage. It runs immediately upon page load and continues to check for new ads every five seconds.
