Block Facebook Sidebar update!

So I was completely annoyed by the new update by Facebook.  Below you will find the steps I took to block the bar. This is my solution for Chrome but it should work for other browsers.

So in the slew of new features Facebook has thrown out (coincidentally at the same time as google plus goes public) Facebook has added this new "super stalker feed" with this feature you can see up to the second information on EVERY action your friends do / publish. To rid yourself of this nuisance you should do  the following...

1. Add an extension to Chrome called Stylish. (This allows you to add your own code to a website like greasemonkey)

2. Next you are going to want to look for the code to modify in facebook. The cool thing about Chrome is that it allows you to inspect elements on a page and it shows you exactly where you are on a page. After much looking (not really) I found this.

div.tickerActivityStories This element displays the sidebar. Now add your own css and BOOM!

                                  div.tickerActivityStories {
                                  display: none;
                                  }


3. Save and Refresh

Let me know how it goes. Enjoy!
