While navigating through Facebook, I just noticed a new option “Unfollow Post” that lets you Stop receiving notifications for a particular post when someone makes a comment on it. Certainly, this is a nifty addition and would be used by a lot of people who participate in a certain post and then receive a bloat of notifications related to it. Now you can just unfollow any post made by you or someone else and get rid from the frequent notification pop-ups.

Note: The ‘Unfollow Post’ option only appears on Facebook when you post a comment on a post. Also, it seems that the option can be seen only if the person at whose post you’ve commented, is friends with you or you’ve subscribed to his/her updates.

You can easily ‘unfollow post’ to stop getting notified when someone comments or select ‘Follow Post’ option to get notified again.

I hope Facebook adds it for everyone, regardless if someone is your friend or not.

Facebook has made it easier to share stuff with who you want, bigger photos with faster loading, Improved Friend Lists, Subscribe option. Just yesterday, Facebook introduced News Feed that shows up Top stories and Recent stories from your stream. There’ve also integrated a Ticker in right sidebar at the top that shows updates and activity from your friends in real-time.

Apparently, most Facebook users aren’t really impressed with the New Facebook layout saying that it’s confusing and tough to handle the bloat of updates being bombarded now. The new Real-time Ticker in sidebar pushes feeds instantaneously just like Twitter. If you’re finding the Ticker annoying and want to get a bit of OLD Facebook layout back, then you can easily get rid of that ticker in Google Chrome and Firefox browser.

Hide Facebook SideBar Ticker (For Chrome)

This is a handy extension for Chrome that disables the ticker and prevents if from appearing in sidebar on Facebook. It even hides the sponsored ads shown in sidebar.

Remove Facebook Sidebar Ticker (For Firefox)

This is a userscript for Firefox that removes the new annoying ticker from the sidebar. It requires Greasemonkey add-on to be installed.

Hope you found this post useful. :) Related Posts:

The black bar is a typical navigation panel that holds the commonly used services and other options. Apparently, Facebook also has a similar navigation bar (non-floatable) that carries most of the significant and useful options.

Are you looking to get Google Plus like navigation bar in Facebook that stays at the top of screen aka the header remains fixed at top? This can be done easily in Chrome and Firefox browser using a small userscript ‘Facebook Fixed Header (Always-At-Top)’.

After installing the script on your browser, Facebook Blue Nav Bar will float at the top of the page and is thus always accessible no mater how far you’ve scrolled up or down. Now you don’t have to scroll up to access the notifications, messages, friend requests, etc. as the top blue header remains fixed, just the content portion moves to and fro.

facebook_floating-nav-bar

The script adds some other features as well like 4 profile bookmarks, a Top link, changes Profile link into your profile picture. The Top link is handy as it lets you move back to top of the page instantly in a click. You can simply add or delete the IDs from its options and retain the old interface by un-checking other options as shown in image below:

Facebook fixed header options

To access its settings, click on "Account" and select "Facebook Fixed Header Options". Luckily, it also saves the bookmarks/settings individually for each Facebook user.

To Install the script or extension on Chrome, visit: userscripts.org/scripts/show/103328 and simply click on Install button, then continue. Firefox users need to install Greasemonkey add-on to install this userscript.

Credit goes to Stefan ‘Steve’ Koshy for writing this awesome script.

Do try it out and share! Let’s see when Facebook picks this nifty tip from Google+. :)
