Could anyone explain what this xcancel is/does for someone who never used twitter?

    It displays tweets without generating traffic to Twitter

    It will still generate traffic to Twitter in order to fetch the tweet. It's an alternative frontend for privacy purposes, so Twitter doesn't get your browser fingerprint, IP address, etc. It's all proxied through xcancel/nitter.
