Autoplay this!

Yup, self-explanatory, right?

Nevertheless, the whole Facebook experience, which has been, so far, enough of an adventure, escalated to a whole new level of stupidity, with the "video autoplay" feature. 

Technically speaking, the "autoplay" feature, freshly implemented in Facebook, chips your bandwidth to the point that, sooner or later (rather sooner), your Facebook page will be as dead as a doornail. In layman's terms, the "autoplay" thingie is like a lap dance: you will enjoy it until your pockets are empty.

Without further ado: 

In Firefox: Click on the arrow that points downward (near the padlock icon). From the menu, select Settings. On the left hand side of the screen, select Videos and switch the autoplay option to Off. That's it.

In Chrome: probably the same procedure, except this time you'll have to fiddle with the extensions and plugins, too.

In Internet Explorer: Don't know, don't care, hehe.

Facebook Timeline Remover - The Hobbit Within Version

First of all, if you are horrified by Zuckerberg's timeline and you've tried to get rid of it, here's a hint: go to www.timelineremove.com, select the browser of your choice, and you'd be ok.(first time user).

For the rest of you (somehow experienced users), there is a simpler solution to the "uninstall/reinstall" routine that I've been trying to explain here in some posts. 

For Firefox users, go to the main menu, select Tools > Add-ons, go to Extensions icon on the left and type "Add-on Update Checker" in the search box (upper right). Install it. Now, provided that you have the TimelineRemove plugin installed, it will keep you updated and it will notify you as soon as new versions are available.

For Google Chrome users, there's a plugin similar to the one described above for Firefox, is called "Secbrowsing". It alerts user by showing a red icon on Chrome’s Omnibox when Chrome plug-ins are out-of-date. 

For Internet Explorer users: really, are you still browsing with Internet Explorer?

Facebook Timeline Remover - summer edition

My dear friend, Mark Zuckerberg, added a new "update to the Facebook timeline", which prevents most of the users to see their own wall and/or their friends wall on Facebook. The man is relentless, which is commendable, but so am I... For you, those who face the situation described above, go to www.timelineremove.com and reinstall the add-on (it's version 0.4.9, which deals with the latest developments in Zuckerberg's money industry, hehe). But, before you do that, remove the previous add-on (I guess it is 0.4.5), via Tools - Extensions - Timeline remover - remove (Firefox). It works like a charm!
