New page

I downloaded Adblock Plus so as to be able to streamline facebook and remove that godawful ticker.

Download Adblock Plus here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/

To edit your filter subscription with an automated list, you can go to chrome://adblockplus/content/ui/subscriptionSelection.xul - but this is not what we're here to do. We're here to add very specific filters to remove the ticker and sponsored ads while we're at it.

Add these filters to the list:

www.facebook.com##[id="pagelet_rhc_ticker"]
www.facebook.com##[id="pagelet_ticker"]
www.facebook.com##[class="ego_section"]

Its simple - you can use this to remove specific div elements from any page as long as you know the name of the element.

−	Note that this will not stop your posts and random activities from being seen by everyone else on the ticker. Facebook has not made it possible for anyone to prevent their posts from being repeated in the ticker if the activity is not completely private and their advice instead was for people to not comment, not post, and not press the Like button anything if they do not want it to be put into the Ticker. That is a bullshit response but there is nothing you can do about it. But at the very least you can hide the panel entirely so you don't inadvertently waste time looking at this stupid box.	+	Note that this will not stop your posts and random activities from being seen by everyone else on the ticker.
