I wonder if this is going to drive people to google+ ?
Yep...I'm there, I'm using it more now. Already pruned out much of my fb content. Really hard to go in and delete older posts though...fb made that too difficult (of course).
I'm only keeping fb as a "shell" (so stubborn fb-only friends can still reach me), but I also have some of my business/website "pages" built there, so I have to keep the account regardless.
I've been using some AdBlock filters in Chrome to block the entire righthand sidebar. I also blocked the chat bubble on the bottom of the screen. There is also AdBlock code to hide only the
ticker stalker window.
I don't have time to look back and see if I posted this code here already, so I'll post it below.
This custom code added to AdBlock should get rid of the ticker aka "stalker window" (which we're calling it now):
Code:
apps.facebook.com##DIV[class="homeFixedTicker"]
apps.facebook.com##DIV[class="fixedAux"]
This gets rid of the entire righthand sidebar, including the advertising and "suggestions", and events, etc. (none of which I ever use):
Code:
facebook.com##div[class="UIStandardFrame_SidebarAds"]
facebook.com##div[id="rightCol"][role="complementary"]
Finally, if you don't use chat, this kills the chat bubble at the bottom of the screen (which had a nasty habit of opening whenever it felt like, lately):
Code:
facebook.com##div[class="fbDock clearfix"]
Remember to save your changes!
