Full Width Facebook Lite

By Ian Renton Last update Feb 23, 2010 — Installed 1,837 times.

Script Summary: Removes the right-hand bar from Facebook Lite, allowing the main column to fill the entire width.



"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!

To reiterate, this is for the new Lite version of Facebook that's currently in beta at http://lite.facebook.com. It has no effect on regular Facebook.

UPDATE 23 Feb 2010: Facebook Lite now has an HTTPS mode, so I've included support for that in the script.

UPDATE 11 Oct: Now doesn't block sidebar on videos, does block sidebar on profiles.

UPDATE 7 Oct: Updated to match FBLite HTML change.

UPDATE 4 Oct: Added lite.facebook.com/story/* to the include list. Sorry, I missed that one!

UPDATE 30 Sept: Facebook formatting changed, so I've updated the script. Added auto-updater code from http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/20145 as Facebook Lite is proving to be quite a moving target!

UPDATE 26 Sept: Now doesn't stop you viewing / making comments on photos.

UPDATE: I've added an implementation of GM_addStyle (from http://userscripts.org/topics/1912) so that it works with GreaseKit.
