How to remove quiz and games notifications from your Facebook page

I was fed up with all those crappy quizzes and games notification in my facebook page. Whenever i logged in to my facebook page, those annoying quizzes notifications were the first ones to appear, so i decided to get rid of it and started my hunt. This is what i found and let me share it with all you guys.

First of all, you need to be a Firefox user to do this. Under firefox, install an add-on called GreaseMonkey. Once installed a small icon will appear on the status bar of your browser. Next, you need to install the Facebook Purity Script for the GreaseMonkey. Then make sure that both the GreaseMonkey and Facebook Purity Script is enabled by right clicking the icon in the status bar and checking the “manage user scripts” option. Once done, open your Facebook page and see the results. The greasemonkey script “Facebook Purity Script” removes all the third pary application’s notifications  such as quizzes and games created by external developers leaving behind your original notifications about status, messages, comments and so on. Now the facebook becomes pure as it should be.

P.S. Facebook Account Settings always do not have the option to strongly disable these third party notifications, so this script for GreaseMonkey really gets the job done. If you have any better ways to do so, please respond in comments below.
