Ask HN: Can Facebook's color-background stuff be adblocked?

1 pointsby WCityMikealmost 8 years ago
When entering a Facebook status update using Firefox -- and this occurs even in safe mode, ever since the introduction of the colored background code, there is a horrific lag, sometimes even holding onto initial letters (so that, i.e., &quot;somewhat&quot; might come out as &quot;omeswhat&quot;).<p>Chrome does not have this problem, but Firefox does on two different systems. I&#x27;d like to just adblock whatever code handles this stupid color background stuff, if that&#x27;s possible -- the fact that FB Purity can do it suggests it is.<p>I tried unzipping FB Purity&#x27;s Firefox extension (XPIs are just ZIPs) and looking at the code, but I couldn&#x27;t figure it out.<p>I know m.facebook.com could let me skip it, but that&#x27;s not a fun interface to stay within.<p>Any thoughts?
