Arrrgh... No more Tickers!

Noticed the sort of upgrades done by FB which doesn't get very well feedback. One of the not-so-useful stuff is the Ticker. Just managed to explore & obtained the way to shut it off for good. Do refer the link below (such way only works for Chrome-tested & Firefox). I personally suggest to go for Chrome method which is easier & sounds hassle free.

For Chrome:

For Firefox:
1. Install Greesemonkey add-on

2. Install add-on script below

3. Restart Firefox when requested

Wanna Read Post, but don't Wanna Click LIKE in FB?

Ever encounter scenario where you find the post from your friends quite interesting, the way when you're reading from the top, then noticed the remaining content was hidden... You search for solution, then find out you need to click the Like/Share button to unlock the whole content. Sounds familiar?

Since some of my friends asking the same question, I think is easier to provide the approach in public for all.

For your information, there is a chance where such link does not carry the info as it meant to be, it could be a prank with adware which will manipulate your FB account to send the sort of post on your wall to lure more people to fall for it.

Any chance to prevent or minimize the risk? YES with major 2 steps:

1st way is to install Anti-Force Like Apps which meant for Chrome. Try google it for more info. Once done, all you have to do in future when encounter such post is just click the Like? button on top right corner of the Chrome browser and woola! The hidden content is revealed without hassle.

Most of the time the 1st approach will work, but still there are posts cannot be handled in such manner. It is time where we use some twisting method: Copy the title line text & google it! Chances are you can get the exact info from other websites in whole :)

That's all for now, hope this helps... Till then, enjoy FBing!
