How to Kill the Facebook News Ticker




The most annoying new feature in the Facebook redesign has to be the news ticker (although you can make an argument for some of the other additions as well). Tech blog Sum Tips came up with three ways to kill this feed.
The easiest way (which is also the way that worked the best for me) involves using AdBlock Plus on Firefox or Chrome, and adding the following custom filters in the extension's preferences.

If you have Chrome, you can also install Unannoying Facebook, which gets rid of the news feed as well as the pinned bar on top. Or, if you have the Better Facebook extension, you can paste this into the CSS options under Advanced Options Mode.
