The script has the capability of hiding all the above boxes, to hide them, simply tick the corresponding boxes in the F.B Purity options screen.

Block Applications Directly From Your News Stream

F.B. Purity adds a "BA" (Block Application) link, next to the "X" button next to application posts in your news stream, which lets you completely block the application from getting any information about you, sending you notifications, or invites to add the application. N.B Facebook's built in "X" (hide) button only lets you hide the application messages from your stream, it does not stop invites or notifications, or stop the application from reading your profile data.

The "BA" button lets you block multiple applications at once, if there are multiple application messages on the screen, if you click the BA button, it will ask you if you want to block all the applications at the same time, if you say no, it will ask if you just want to block the app you clicked on.

Import and Export your F.B Purity Settings

You can export and import your FBP settings, so you can transfer your settings from browser to browser, or recover them after you have a browser crash etc

Set Custom CSS Rules

You can add Custom CSS rules to FBP, so you can view Facebook exactly how you like it. CSS is a language for describing how elements on a web page should look.

Delete Friend Request Button

Facebook recently got rid of the "Delete" friend request button, instead replacing it with the "Not Now" button, FBP adds the Delete button back again, so you can quickly and easily delete unwanted friend requests.
