A browser extension known as F.B. Purity is apparently impure when it comes to Facebook’s terms of service, as its developer claims to have been banned from the social network.

F.B. Purity, short for “Fluff-Busting Purity,” helps Facebook users filter out application spam (such as game notifications and quizzes) and select which boxes they want displayed on the right-hand side of their homepages, as well as adding the ability to hide the following Facebook features in its new release: ticker/happening now, the chat box, comments on event walls, comments and likes in top news, and questions.

The extension — available for Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari, and Opera — also adds a “delete recent activity” button to users’ profile pages.
