Full Width Facebook Lite

This Grease­mon­key script was for the Lite ver­sion of Face­book that was in Beta in 2009. Sadly, Face­book Lite is no longer avail­able, mean­ing that this script is now redun­dant. How­ever, if you’d like a quick and easy exam­ple of how to use Grease­Mon­key to hide cer­tain divs (e.g. for remov­ing ads), check out the source code.

“Full Width Face­book Lite” is pos­si­bly the world’s short­est Grease­mon­key script: it sim­ply removes the right-hand bar in the new Face­book Lite, thus remov­ing the ad and the big white space, allow­ing the actual con­tent to span the full width. Use­ful for peo­ple who don’t like ads, and peo­ple with small displays!

It requires Fire­fox with Grease­mon­key, Safari with GreaseKit, or sim­i­lar. GreaseKit com­pat­i­bil­ity (via the in-built imple­men­ta­tion of GM_addStyle) was pro­vided thanks to ‘greut’ in this thread: http://userscripts.org/topics/1912. The auto-updater is pro­vided by this script: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/20145.

There’s no point putting this under the GPL as it’s so sim­ple, so it’s pub­lic domain.
