  • It needs some UI love <3

  • Ummm… that looks pretty terrible. I think I’ll stick with the OG Facebook.

  • As the author of this app, I would just like to note that I am a single person working on this FREE app (I wish I had a dedicated UI guy), just trying to get a little wider userbase. I hope you like it.

    Unfortunately, starting yesterday, Facebook has been messing with the layout, code, structure, and features of the site. In some cases, this has broken some of the functionality of this script. I am working hard to fix this, but please keep in mind that this is a change in Facebook itself and not a failure on the part of the script.

    Anyway, enjoy! I hope you all find it as useful as I and thousands of others already have!

    Do you have a contact page for Better Facebook? Is there some method where I can contact you? Thanks

  • Matt, thanks for your reply. Now whenever I install a Chrome extension and see that it wants to access so much of my data I cringe – it would be very nice if you could explain what installing this particular extension means for me and my facebook account.

    • Agreed. I guess it is good that you are warned by Chrome, but I’m very uncomfortable installing most Chrome extensions for that reason. But this sounds like it has some great functionality… what to do!?!

  • @Brandon: http://facebook.com/mattkruse

    @Kevin: It just says it needs to access your data on facebook.com, right? Unfortunately I can’t control that message and be more specific. If you go to http://BetterFacebook.net it covers the full feature list. It writes nothing to your account, but it does access your friends lists, etc in order to provide functionality.

  • I don’t really see the interest of cleaning Youtube if you can’t connect anymore because the filed doesn’t show up :)

  • I DO NOT LIKE THE ADS ON MY WALL BEING DEAD IN THE MIDDLE OF EVERYTHING!!!!!
