F.B Purity Safari extension now available for Safari 5

I’ve created a F.B Purity Safari extension that is compatible with Safari 5, which simplifies the installation process a great deal, as you no longer need to install a Greasemonkey script interpreter. If you have F.B Purity running as a script in Greasekit or NinjaKit and want to try out the new extension, you should first disable or uninstall the FBP script version.

You can install the FB Purity Safari extension (v3.3) here: http://install.fbpurity.com

Script Update – v3.3 – New Extra – Hide “Checked in to Location” aka “Changed Location” (Facebook’s new geolocation feature)

Script Update: For those in the USA and anyone else who are seeing messages from the new Facebook Places geolocation feature in their feeds, where people can “check in” at real  locations on the world map via Facebook on their mobile devices. I’ve added a new hideable “Extra” called “Checked in to location”  (*UPDATE* This option has now been renamed to “Changed Location“) if you tick this option in the FBP options screen, it will hide those types of posts. If you are not yet seeing these posts, Facebook probably hasnt yet launched this feature in your area yet, so theres no need to update your version of the script just yet. For those that do want to be able to hide these types of posts.
