better_facebook_large Today my Better Facebook Firefox Add-On was approved to go public. It took a while (feels like the Apple App Store!) but after a few revisions it was finally put through the process.

This is just a re-packaging of my Better Facebook Greasemonkey Script that does the same thing.

The functionality includes:

  • Mark your Live Feed as "read" so old posts are hidden by default. Quickly and easily only see new posts
  • If new comments are found on old posts, they will be shown and highlighted for you
  • Hide or minimize by story type. For example, stop seeing all notifications about who your friends became friends with!
  • Pin the notifications panel to the upper right, so it is always easily visible
  • Track your friends, and if someone unfriends you it will automatically tell you who it was!

This script and add-on will continue to improve as I add more features. Enjoy!
