This is so awesome! A little script that blocks quizzes and allows you to block apps in Facebook. You have to install the grease monkey add-in for it to work, and it doesn’t catch every app, but it is still amazing. If you hate Facebook Apps as much as I do (but still like using Facebook to keep up with your friends) then you need to get this!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
“Script Summary:
Adds “[BLOCK APP]” link to block (not just hide) apps within the news feed. Automatically blocks quizzes.
A note about terminology:
Hiding an app tells facebook to stop showing posts from it in your feed.
This is roughly the same as removing these items from display using javascript,
as is done in most facebook greasemonkey scripts.
Blocking an app is substantially different than simply hiding it:
- blocked apps cannot gather information about you if you visit their home page
- blocked apps cannot gather information about you if your FRIEND visits their home page
- blocked apps cannot send you notifications, invites, or mail
- blocked apps are stored on facebook and stay blocked even if you move to a different computer/device.This script does not just hide apps. It blocks them. Some of them (quizzes) it blocks automatically.”
You come get the voodoo!
