Facebook Blocker for Chrome and Safari (Mac)

Has anyone else noticed how long it takes for pages to load with those crappy Facebook Like or log in apps included on them? You sit and watch the page loading and down in the little status bar it’s always Facebook something something or Google analytics. Well, aside from AdBlocking analytics (which I do on some of the more highly trafficked sites I visit) there’s not much we can do about Google but Facebook’s contribution to the web is debatable to me and well worth removing for a faster surfing experience. Thankfully someone agrees with me.
This fun little outfit called Webgraph has developed a plugin for Safari and Chrome that will block Facebook goodies on sites other than Facebook. Yes! Now you could probably (and easily) do the same thing by blocking the Facebook bits using AdBlock (if you already use that) but this niche plugin may be the scalpel you were looking for rather than the butcher’s knife. Let me know what you think.
