Using Debian 10 with Chromium along with uBlock Origin and uMatrix extensions.
On Twitter, advertisement as promoted content are not blocked, How can we block such content with uBlock/uMatrix or any other underlying Linux's solution?

This question isn't related to Unix and Linux, it's about configuring your adblocker. I'd suggest asking the developers for help.– PankiJun 18, 2020 at 9:16

5I’m voting to close this question because it is not about Unix or Linux, but configuring an AdBlocker.– AdminBeeJun 18, 2020 at 9:38

While it is not Linux related directly, it's not either unrelated as the underlying system is Linux...– intikaJun 20, 2020 at 19:19

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(..)
Other additional filter may be added, this is provided as an example.

I had to add one closing paren to the second to last line to get this to work. I only see English Twitter, so I took out the other languages, and the commented out section.– MichaelJun 13, 2021 at 1:13
