Not a fan of the new Facebook ticker, but also not a Google Chrome user? Fear not: These two Firefox extensions will get that offending component out of your sight.

Not a fan of the new Facebook ticker, but also not a Google Chrome user? Fear not: These two Firefox extensions will get that offending component out of your sight.

Developer Russell Gilbert was the brains behind Feed Filter, which, in addition to the new ticker, blocks a host of other Facebook posts, including:

  • Is now friends with someone;
  • Likes a page;
  • Joined a group;
  • Was tagged;
  • Events (announcing events and attending them);
  • Relationship changes;
  • Updated their profile;
  • Changed their profile picture;
  • Is at a place;
  • Was added to a group;
  • Commented on;
  • Likes (marketers won’t be too happy with this one);
  • Started using an app (except those users choose to display);
  • All applications (except those users choose to display);
  • Update your email address box;
  • Asked a question;
  • Answered a question; and
  • Others that are continually added as needed.
