Hide Facebook stream and distracting stuff.This extensions hides the Facebook stream in the center of the Facebook start page and the activity stream that is shown on top of the contact list on the right side. It is meant for people like me who are rather annoyed by the stream in the center and get easily distracted by it. However, due to several groups on Facebook I'm in, and the messaging feature, I do not want to quit Facebook in general.
Additional information:
This extension works by scanning the Facebook site for characteristics (element IDs or class names) that identify the distracting elements and removing them. As such, design updates or subtle changes that are not apparent to the user, can break this extension. Therefore, frequent updates are planned whenever Facebook changes anything on their page.
Permission to access data on Facebook is needed to perform the aforementioned process of scanning the page for the distracting elements and removing them.
