You can trivially hide an element permanently using any ad blocker of your choice.

I didn't suggest that I couldn't; however I figured that the work had already been done in the extension.
Right-clicking the heart button and clicking "block element" is much easier and faster than downloading an extension, reviewing its code, then overriding whatever safeguards Chrome has to make it hard to install 3rd party extensions. Just my two cents.
I think you misunderstood me. I want to block everything other than tweets and retweets from my timeline. No "so-and-so liked" or "so-and-so follows."
On the new Twitter PWA, you can just switch from "Home" to "Latest Tweets", though it has a habit of automatically switching back once in a while. Also, they use React with obfuscated class names that change whenever they update the site so customizing the appearance (e.g. hiding the like button) is pretty hard to do.
