Recently one of my Twitter “reads” mentioned using a plug in for FireFox called Stylish to kill all of the spam on the right hand side of FaceBook.

If you are a frequent user of FaceBook, you know that it’s pretty annoying to constantly see a list of whatever “applications” your friends are using. (I.E.: List 5 things you hate, blah blah blah)

What Stylish is, is an add-on for FireFox that essentially modifies a websites formatting, and lays over the top of what ever site you’re viewing. So if something particular annoys you with a site, Stylish will allow you to remove the offending piece of code, thus making the site more enjoyable for your tastes.

Using Stylish for FaceBook turned off the notifications but still left other spam like the suggestions window, and other notifications.

So this is the code that stylish created for facebook:

@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);

@-moz-document domain("facebook.com") {
.UIHotStream {display:none;}

}

and I added the following line to completely block/hide everything on that right side:

.UITitledBox {display:none;}

and so altogether you have:

@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);

@-moz-document domain("facebook.com") {
.UIHotStream {display:none;}
.UITitledBox {display:none;}
}

I hope that my tip was helpful if you are as tired of looking at that garbage as I am. Now I am going to see what other sites I can use Stylish for because there is certainly plenty of spam/garbage out there I don’t want to look at.
