This script doesn't work with me at Facebook. I do use "Facebook Profile Cleaner", but even if deactivate this other script, it doesn't work. Mozilla Firefox v3.0, Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP3, win32.

I honestly don't know, as I didn't save the link and Google doesn't seem to find anything but this script when asking for it. If you know of a way of linking to status icons that don't use an API key, if that feels important to you, do enlighten me.

It's good that you audit user scripts, Dot, but it would be nicer if you could temper the tone a bit, and provide accurate information about what happens and why that might be considered bad by some users, in a way that nontechnical people can understand, rather than just spraying FUD around.

What Dot is trying to say is that profiles with an ICQ / AIM number listed will get an online status icon loaded from ICQ/AIM's web server, and that it technically gives the ICQ/AIM host details about your web browser (model and OS) and which facebook profile id you visited that requested the image. If you don't want such data to leak out, do not run this script, or modify it not to have that feature (and ideally upload the result somewhere here, linking to it from this script, so others that feel the same way can migrate to your version of the hack).

    'api.oscar.aol.com/SOA/key=je1ZtapBUYJngcu0/presence/'+ icq.textContent +

hmm... that got mangled


# if( icq )
# icq.innerHTML = ' '+ icq.innerHTML;
# }

Another script from this author with remote image loading CRAP/Spyware:

# if( icq )
# icq.innerHTML = ' '+ icq.innerHTML;
# }

... and whose key is that Johan?

Small feature update: added an indicator icon for present ICQ status, when available, and no longer reports errors when sex/age info is not available.
