FAQ

Is X Unfollow Pro Safe to Use?

Quick Answer

Yes — X Unfollow Pro is safe. It runs as a Chrome content script inside your existing X (Twitter) browser session, so it never asks for your password, OAuth token, or API key. No follower data leaves your machine, and built-in rate limiting paces unfollows under X's published action thresholds (400 follow-state changes per day). Browser-only architecture means there are no server-side credentials to leak.

X Unfollow Pro is a Chrome content script — it runs inside your existing logged-in x.com tab and never sees your password, OAuth token, or API key.
Because it acts through the browser UI (not X's paid API), it inherits X's normal per-user action limits and is paced under the documented 400-follow-state-changes-per-day cap.
All follower data stays on your machine. No PlugMonkey server, no third-party processor, and no analytics pipeline ever receives your follow graph.
The extension passed Chrome Web Store review and requests only the minimum host permission (x.com) needed to read and click unfollow buttons.

“Accounts are technically able to follow up to 400 accounts per day. Verified accounts are technically able to follow up to 1,000 accounts per day.”

How X Unfollow Pro Works in Your Browser

X Unfollow Pro is a browser-based Chrome extension that operates directly on the X (Twitter) website when you have it open. It reads the page you are viewing and interacts with the unfollow buttons the same way you would manually. It does not use Twitter's API, does not connect to any external server to process your data, and does not store your credentials anywhere. Think of it as an automated assistant that clicks the unfollow button for you — nothing more, nothing less.

No API Keys or OAuth Tokens Required

Many third-party Twitter tools require you to authorize access via OAuth, which grants them read and write permissions to your entire account. X Unfollow Pro takes a fundamentally different approach. It never asks for API keys, OAuth tokens, or your password. Since it operates within your browser session, it uses the same authentication you already have when you are logged into X. There is no separate authorization step, and no third-party server ever receives your account credentials.

No OAuth authorization flow — nothing to revoke later
No API keys stored on any server
No password entry outside of X's own login page
No third-party server communication with your account data

Chrome Web Store Review Process

Every extension published on the Chrome Web Store goes through Google's review process before it becomes available for download. This review checks for malicious code, excessive permissions, and policy violations. X Unfollow Pro has passed this review and only requests the minimum permissions needed to function: access to the x.com domain so it can read and interact with the page.

Privacy Policy and Data Handling

X Unfollow Pro has a published privacy policy that clearly states what data is collected (minimal analytics for feature improvement) and what is not collected (your password, follower lists, DMs, or any personal X account data). The extension processes everything locally in your browser. Your follower and following data never leaves your machine.

Rate Limiting Protects Your Account

X Unfollow Pro includes built-in rate limiting that mimics natural human behavior when unfollowing accounts. It does not blast through hundreds of unfollows per second — instead, it paces actions with randomized delays to stay well within X's acceptable usage thresholds. This protects your account from being flagged or restricted by X's automated systems. The behavior is indistinguishable from someone manually clicking unfollow buttons, just faster and more convenient.

Whitelist feature prevents accidental unfollows of important accounts

What About Account Suspension Risks?

Since X Unfollow Pro operates through the browser interface (not the API), it behaves exactly like a user manually clicking unfollow. X's Terms of Service primarily target API abuse, automated account creation, and spam. Browser extensions that help you manage your own following list fall into a different category. That said, unfollowing thousands of accounts in a single session is never recommended regardless of the tool — X Unfollow Pro's built-in rate limits help you stay within safe boundaries.

The Numbers Behind This Answer

Every figure below cites a primary source. Click through to verify.

400 / day

X's documented daily follow-state-change ceiling per account (1,000/day for verified). X Unfollow Pro paces unfollows well under this threshold with randomized delays.

50–100 / day

Practitioner-consensus safe pacing range cited across 2025 X-automation guides. Sessions above this often trigger soft-rate-limit warnings even though they are under the 400/day ceiling.

0 credentials transmitted

Chrome content scripts run in an isolated world that has DOM access but no access to the page's JavaScript variables. The extension cannot see — and therefore cannot exfiltrate — your X session cookie, password, or auth tokens.
