Don’t you think this is so much prettier? Although it doesn’t fit on my screen I love the big blue sidebar.

FB has been pushing it’s updated look and fool for user groups this week. The new look of course has a ton of bugs, but I’ll be giving FB some time to shake out the quirks before I start the critique. Just to note: I’ve updated the cleanup stylesheet.
Funky AJAX commenting broken (again). Users aren’t that afraid of a page reload you know.
Fb screws up notifications with foreign languages (I’be seen on one screen English, Polish, Czech and German).
To not just moan about fb’s many shortcomings I decided to do something (de)constructive and write a stylesheet that will dispose of most of FBs clutter.
Check it out (or download):
(NOTE: Updated 8-2-2010 for new Facebook look. Browse on GitHub for older stylesheet.)
In Safari go to Preferences > Advanced and select the above file as Stylesheet. In Firefox, search for a custom stylesheets extension and follow instructions.
Beware this is still beta, so if other sites look funky disable this stylesheet.

After:
Yeah sure slap popup menus all over the page and then forget to role them up so that I can’t see the two most useful buttons on the page.
There is way too much junk on the Facebook site. This is a quick sketch of what I would remove to make it nice and happy again.
Also Facebook can now weigh all the way up to something like 1.5MB. Crazy.
Yeah right so now after 2 years of active posting you check if I’m not a freaking robot? What happened to this “FB identities are the closest related to real people” thing?
Also the funny thing: it asks me for a captcha when I’m spammig my own profile.
