Don’t like the Highlights section on Facebook?

If you don’t have Firefox yet, click here to download it. Next start Firefox and click here to install the GreaseMonkey Plug-in. Last click here to install the script. You may have to hit the F5 key to get it to kick in. If it isn’t working then make sure you have GreaseMonkey enabled by going to Tools, GreaseMonkey, and making sure ”Enabled” is checked.

// first let's look for all the DIVs (aka sections) on the page
myDivs = document.getElementsByTagName('DIV');
// next we'll loop through all of them to find one classified as UIHotStream
// which apparently is what Highlights is really called
for (counter=0; counter < myDivs.length; counter++) {
if (myDivs[counter].className == 'UIHotStream UIStream') {
// we found a match so we replace all of the HTML with this:
myDivs[counter].innerHTML = 'Hidden by Mark Shields - Super Genius';
}
