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 SumTips came up with three ways to kill this feed.
The easiest way (which is also the way that worked the best for me) is using AdBlock on Firefox or Chrome, and adding the following filter in the customise tab.
www.facebook.com##[id="pagelet_rhc_ticker"]www.facebook.com##[id=”pagelet_ticker”]
Then, refresh Facebook and you should be in business.
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.
/* Hide Facebook live ticker */.ticker_stream { display:none !important; }
We’ll spare you the Xzibit jokes and just be glad that the stupid news feed is gone.
