This filter should be in the filtering preferences on facebook

This really keeps you sane in facebook.

If you want to keep basic contact with facebook friends without sifting through silly and annoying app news for hours, this is for you.

epic, this script is EXACTLY what i needed but was too lazy to write for myself... churs steev!!

Facebook Purity is one of the best scripts I have installed (of about 25). It returns facebook to the usable service it once was, stripping the newsfeed of undesired items such as quiz and apps messages whilst providing a whitelist for apps that you do want to see.

The script does break (when fb changes their code) but so far by the time i've noticed the script has broken, Steeev has updated the script and it works perfectly again.

My only wish is that more coders/developers were as rapid and efficient as Steeev

It works perfectly. Thank you. I never see those annoying quizzes/applications again.

Awesome script!

This is an excellent script and a must have for Facebook users. Mark Zuckerberg (who is still a child in my opinion) should never have allowed so much crap on a page to begin with and given us an opt out. Thankfully this script came to the rescue.

What is really neat is that if for whatever reason you need to see some of the apps, you can easily show them with the unintrusive text link at the top right of the page which says, "FB Purity blocked: X app msgs [ Show/Hide ]"

Yep, very well done indeed!

The only glitch is that some blocked items will result in the entire home feed getting hidden. I don't think it is a problem with the script, though. It is easily fixed by showing all blocked and manually hiding the offending quiz (it will highlight blocked items in red) and then refresh the page.

Does actually what it claims to do

This is just what I need, I was getting tired of hiding every stupid quiz or game every time I loaded facebook.
