Social Fixer – A better way to Facebook

So I recently found out about a nifty Firefox addon called Social Fixer that allows you to edit some of the things that Facebook annoyingly does.

See picture below, click to enlarge.
NOTE: I edited out personal info with orange boxes, they are not normally there
NOTE2: I replaced the original picture with this one on 09 July because a dumb Fox News article was on the original screencap and it bothered me.

Here are some of those things:

1. Change the default look of Facebook (as seen above, I am using a theme called “Dark Facebook” which is easier on the eyes)
2. Get rid of pictures in the chat box and also in the notifications area
3. Can’t see pictures that are small? Hover over them for it to automatically enlarge instead of opening a new webpage
4. Only show who is online in the chat box rather than Facebook choosing who you see online
5. Hide the chat box
6. Get rid of the News Feed Ticker on the right side
7. Default to “Recent Stories” instead of “Top posts” giving the user a chronological News Feed rather than Facebook showing you what it wants you to see.
8. Can opt to display Social Fixer’s control panel allowing you to mark posts as “read” like in Gmail
9. Hide game icons
10. Hide friend’s game activity
11. Fix timestamps to show actual date/time (“one hour ago” becomes “12:34am (one hour ago)”)
12. Hide multiple (duplicate) stories from your news feed
13. By hovering over an area you don’t want, an X appears and you can remove it (you can also re-enable it in the settings)
14. Don’t like when a person posts about XYZ? Or annoyed every time someone posts food? Filter your news feed by using keywords.
15. Know CSS programming? Add in your own CSS code!

There is even more features than these! I highly recommend you check them out at their site: http://socialfixer.com/
