One button Facebook Quiz blocker

Facebook quiz spam gets on my nerves the day they changed their new 'Home' look with the new newsfeed and all....and I KNOW I'm not alone in this...it drove Edo nuts too...as well as a bunch other of my friends on facebook....what would it take to have a one button 'hide it all' feature to just wipe away all these quizzes instead of hiding them one by one (and keep hiding as your friend spams you with 10 fresh new quizzes the next day)....

Seems someone out there (god bless you!) heard my (and many many many others') wish and came out with an application that will not only hide those quizzes with a touch of a button, you can also block them so you don't get prompted to take them.

Introducing "One-click Quiz Blocker 2.5" by Eddy Wong and CY Choi...

How do you get about using this awhsome application? All you need to do is to add this bookmark to your bookmark bar, and click it whenever you see quiz spams on your Facebook 'Home' page. Right click on the link and add to favourites/bookmark this link or just drag and drop the link to your bookmark bar (for chrome). Tested it on a quiz and so far so good :D

Yes you STILL have to do it everytime you see a/many quiz appear (it doesn't permanantly hides all quizzes) but it sure is better than hiding it one by one...at least this way you can still see some interesting quizzes w/o blocking them all.

...and I'm a happy 'quiz-spamless-FB user' once again. Just when I was about to 'hide' another 'quiz-trigger-happy' friend of mine too...heh.

Click on the javascript prompt bookmark link and you'll be prompted with this window on your facebook.

The application is also able to do 'one click request ignore' and maybe other stuff but that doesn't really trouble me much...and I think FB's got their one 'tool' to ignore all application request some time ago.

Now lets just hope Facebook doesn't go about rigging the codes so it won't run in the future....urk >.<
