How to Block or Remove Facebook Ticker ?
If you already used Facebook today, you may be noticed the new ticker option on the right side of your Facebook window. If you are not seeing this ticker window you will be able to see this very soon.As we reported earlier Facebook will do some testing of new features this week and today they started the new ticker window to some users and it will be available to all Facebook users gradually.
Ticker is the new feature that Facebook added today and it will display live feed of your entire friend’s activity on the account sidebar and the Application sidebar.Facebook Ticker is much similar to Twitter live feed options, where it is updated the moment when your friend likes a photo, comments, befriends someone, clicks on a link, shares stuff or anything for that matter.
Facebook presently allowing users to adjust the new ticker window for their size and also for their privacy. But the Facebook community got lot of bad comments to the new Facebook ticker and most of them want it to be removed or disabled from their account. Most of the telling that Facebook Ticker is ridiculous and annoying feature that Facebook ever got. This thread on Facebook community, lead me to show you how to disable the new Facebook ticker updates. We got two options to Block Facebook Ticker updates. look at one by one.

Hi Himanshu,
I don’t know why it is not working for you ! Before I write this post I tested it personally and working for me.I don’t know which method you applied ! if you want to get back to the old setup remove the adblock plus extension.
If you used the scripts please go to tools>extensions on your browser simply click uninstall under the script that you installed.
I tried option2. Installed Adblock Plus. Added the 2 filters by copying the code you listed. I’ve restarted FB twice, but nothing happened. The Ticket window is still there as if I did nothing. What am I doing wrong?
thanks, Pat
Hi Pat,
If all the options not working for you please go to the simple and working option.

How do i block MY comments from the feed. I am seeing a bunch of people not in my friends list commenting on friends posts or comments my friends make on the pages of non friends I don’t know or don’t want to know. I really don’t like the idea of non friends reading comments I make to others or seeing my post because my friend comments. I have privacy set for a reason. I could care less if advertisers have my info, I just don’t want other people seeing it. Should be an privacy option just like your wall has to block certain people from seeing your posts. Facebook Fail.
Jolee, Me too fedup with the some facebook updates.The ticker stream is presently going through the beta stage,it will be intended for the future services.As you know facebook already pushed out new timeline profile and lot of new features will be coming to normal users from September 30 onwards.
The only way presently aviallbe is to change our privacy settings to custom level.This settings will make impact on our news feed and ticker window real time activity.
Hi, I am having a more important question, at least more important for me..
How can I remove myself from these ticker posts???
I mean, I don’t want all my activities showing up on other people’s tickers.
Is there any way to restrict myself from this ticker?
Thank You.
Hi Kyaw Lwin Phyo
Presently there is no any simple trick available but you can control what you want to show in your facebook ticker by customizing your privacy settings.
Does this also disable my on posts from being seen on my friends’ tickers? That’s the main concern, is I want to hide what I’m doing.
Hye..
I’m having the same concern like Kyaw Lwin Phyo. I have no problem with the ticker, but I don’t want anything I commented/liked/changed pictures etc appeared on my friends ticker.
I always set anything I post in MY wall to “Friends Only”. In that condition: I believe only my friends can SEE and comment on it. And it will appear on their Ticker.. But if MY friend commented on MY post, will their friends(not a mutual friend) see it in their ticker?
I’m confused.. :p
I LIKE the ticker, but my ticker has disappeared. What can I do to get it back?
