Get rid of the Facebook live ticker
Do you hate the live ticker on Facebook as much as I do? I have found zero use in it thusfar apart from a neverending stream of bad music tastes and stories that have zero context. There is a very easy way to disable it from your life (as I have). To do this, you’ll […]
