Adblock Plus

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

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 really simple - and in the same vein, you can use this to remove specific div elements from any page as long as you know the name of the element.
