Block Applications Directly From Your News Stream
Fluff Busting Purity adds a "Block App" link, next to the "Hide" button above 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 "hide" button only hides the application messages from your stream, it does not stop invites or notifications, or stop the application from reading your profile data)
