Uncluttering Facebook using Greasemonkey

From Charlie.Huggardlee.Net

For a little bit of light problem solving getting back into the swing of computing, I've been toying with Greasemonkey again. This time I have developed 2 scripts to hopefully remove the clutter of applications that seems to have infected Facebook since the advent of the Facebook Platform. Custom Facebook View actually started 2 years ago, trying to mold facebook to my personal viewing preferences, clean up advertisements and the news feed. Within the past few days I updated it to include a method of preventing specifically blacklisted application boxes from displaying on profile pages. I recently changed the Namespace of this script so previous users (if there were any) would need to uninstall the old script before installing the current one.

For people who hate all of the new applications including the mini-feed, Basic Facebook Apps may be more appealing. As suggested by Charlie Holmes, this script takes the stance of white listing only the most basic applications, and removing the display of all others. As always, I'm interested in any feedback you may have on these toy scripts. --Charlie Huggard 00:41, 25 January 2008 (CST)
