The clutter here, is all that should not be in your current news feed. This includes unnecessary updates like Mafia Wars, Farmville and other game apps and updates from friends.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/cache.techie-buzz.com\/images\/posts\/fbpurity-blood.jpg\" alt=\"facebook-purity-fluffy\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" \/><br \/>\nIt also includes the quiz requests you keep receiving from friends just because your name starts with A or B. Generally, before you are allowed to see your score on a quiz, you are requested to forward it to some friends from a list. The list is in alphabetic order and so names with A, B C and alike come up first.<\/p>\n<p>Facebook has grown a hatred for the Fluff Busting Purity script and is determined to bring it down. However, this is not Facebook&#8217;s first outrage against this script. It seems like Facebook has a thing for the developer of this script and has been stalking this script from the time it was released with the name of <strong>Facebook Purity<\/strong>. In the last allegation, it was accused of infringing Facebook&#8217;s trademark. This time though, Facebook simply demands them to shut down. In an attempt to do this, Facebook has deleted the fan page of this script. It has also asked the official website of this script to shut down.<\/p>\n<p>Fluffy Busting Purity demanded a reply on this matter and Facebook replied with,<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>You will not use our copyrights or trademarks (including Facebook, the Facebook and F logos, FB, Face, Poke, Wall, and 32665), or any confusingly similar marks, without our written permission.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Facebook did not just stop here. It has released a patch to render this script useless but the script creator has devised a method to circumvent this and the script is back on. The script works on almost every browser on every platform out there and is a must have greasemonkey script for Facebook users.<\/p>\n<p>Visit the <a href=\"http:\/\/steeev.site50.net\/fbpurity\/\">Facebook Purity homepage<\/a> as long as it lasts.<br \/>\n[Via: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.neowin.net\/news\/facebook-goes-after-039fluff-busting-purity039-greasemonkey-script?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+neowin-software+%28Neowin.net+Software+News%29\">Neowin<\/a> ]<\/p>\n<div style=\"font-size:12px\">\n<strong>Share:<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/tech-news\/facebook-tries-bullying-greasemonkey-script-fluff-busting-purity.html#commentrespond\" rel=\"bookmark\" >Comment on This Post<\/a> |<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/home?source=techiebuzz&#038;status=Facebook%20Tries%20Bullying%20Greasemonkey%20Script%20Fluff%20Busting%20Purity%20http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FcdDw5f%20via%20@techiebuzzer\" rel=\"bookmark\" >Tweet This<\/a> |<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/tech-news\/facebook-tries-bullying-greasemonkey-script-fluff-busting-purity.html\" rel=\"bookmark\" >Share on Facebook<\/a> |<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/del.icio.us\/post?url=http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/tech-news\/facebook-tries-bullying-greasemonkey-script-fluff-busting-purity.html&#038;title=Facebook%20Tries%20Bullying%20Greasemonkey%20Script%20Fluff%20Busting%20Purity\" rel=\"bookmark\" >Save to Delicious<\/a> |<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.stumbleupon.com\/submit?url=http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/tech-news\/facebook-tries-bullying-greasemonkey-script-fluff-busting-purity.html\" rel=\"bookmark\" >Stumble This<\/a> |<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/digg.com\/submit?phase=2&#038;url=http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/tech-news\/facebook-tries-bullying-greasemonkey-script-fluff-busting-purity.html&#038;title=Facebook%20Tries%20Bullying%20Greasemonkey%20Script%20Fluff%20Busting%20Purity\" rel=\"bookmark\" >Digg This<\/a> |<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.reddit.com\/submit?url=http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/tech-news\/facebook-tries-bullying-greasemonkey-script-fluff-busting-purity.html&#038;title=Facebook%20Tries%20Bullying%20Greasemonkey%20Script%20Fluff%20Busting%20Purity\" rel=\"bookmark\" >Reddit This<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div><strong style=\"font-size:11px;\">TAGS:<\/strong> <span style=\"text-transform:uppercase;font-size:11px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/tag\/facebook\" rel=\"tag\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/tag\/greasemonkey\" rel=\"tag\">Greasemonkey<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/tag\/script\" rel=\"tag\">Script<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<\/small><\/div>\n<div>\n<br \/>\n<font size=\"4\"><strong>Announcement:<\/strong> Missing Mobile News in the Main RSS Feed?
