I'm looking for how to change what people can see about you on the ticker. Like how to hide what you comment and like and just leave updates. (sorry the app sucks^^^)

How an I get rid of the ticker is I am NOT using Google Chrome? Using Safari and Firefox.

I love Facebook but lately all the changes are getting annoying. Pop up after pop up asking you to try this, test that. ENOUGH. Simple is what made you like you FB,,, so get it right or some of us will move.. on.... If anyone needs a TOP Facebook status they have nice ones here...

There's another Chrome addon called Better Facebook that hides some of the different panels, and gets rid of the Top Story nonsense and returns the feed to chronological order. Between that and a couple of Ad Block Plus filters to block the Ticker, it's as if Facebook never ruined itself.

that is great for the 3% of the users using Apple and chrome for their browser. now for the other 97% of us. getting rid of this crap while using windows and using Internet Explorer or Firefox for their browsers..

It's called Safari not Apple. People are still using Internet Explorer? Chrome is fast.

The "crap" you posted INCLUDES:
Firefox & Apple & Chrome.
Rejoin the real world & get off your Internet addiction.

Clicked out of a vague hope that it would tell me how to get rid of the stupid "top story" nonsense and was very disappointed.

You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar and I will give a tiny piece of my sure-to-be-meager inheritance for linking this.
