Using chromium on Debian with uBlock Origin and uMatrix how can we block Twitter's promoted content on my feed

Is it possible to achieve this through uBlock Origin/uMatrix? is there any alternative?

I have same problem on reddit.com, where I see "promoted" content when I visit from chromium.

With Firefox, on the other hand, where i am using uBlock Origin and NoScript, neither on Twitter, nor on reddit do I see promoted content.

uBlock Origin may be used with custom filter to block Twitter's Ads, here are some documentation/links on how to achieve that

Link-1, link-2, link-3 and link-4... you may for instance try adding the following on the custom filter list of uBlock Origin

twitter.com##.trends.Trends.module
twitter.com##.dashboard-right.dashboard
twitter.com##.module.DashboardProfileCard
!twitter.com##article:has-text(/Promoted|Gesponsert|Реклама|Promocionado|Sponsorisé/):xpath(../..)
twitter.com##:xpath(//span[(text()='Promoted' or text()='Gesponsert' or text()='Реклама' or text()='Promocionado'or text()='Sponsorisé']/../../../../..)
twitter.com##[data-testid="trend"]:has-text(/Promoted|Gesponsert|Реклама|Promocionado|Sponsorisé/):xpath(..)

This list is provided as an example.

You could try an extension for this:

Hide Twitter Ads - Block Promoted Tweets, described as:

Free tool that hides promoted tweets while you browse Twitter.
