Supercharge Your Facebook Experience With Boost & Facebook Lite!

I have an account on Facebook and needless to say, I often use Firefox to browse Facebook since it's virtually my top browser to use now. However, i hate some of the way Facebook is run and managed. There are some features that users are not being able to control and change, for example, eliminating those annoying flash ads which only slows down the page loading process. I also find Facebook a little lacking on the customization side which differentiates it so much from Friendster and Myspace that are more customizable. Most recently i also discovered that Facebook is getting more and more slower on my machine. I was sick of the way the flash games lags on me and was even more annoyed that the interface has become more and more cluttered as more features are added, on which i don't even use some of them...literally.

After some searching and testing, here are two pretty effective solutions to the above problems:



1. Boost


Boost is a free Firefox add-on developed by StudioBoost which allows users to customize their Facebook via Mozilla Firefox with 300+ skins, 30+ features, rollover pics, selectable options, one-click pokes, video downloader and many more. There are also other enhancements, for example, the option of refreshing the Home page of Facebook at selected intervals, options for downloading videos on Facebook, disable display banners and ads and even an auto image-magnifying option when you mouse-over an image.

Boost works with Firefox v3.5 and above and is completely freeware with no adware bundled. It is still currently in beta stage and so you can expect a few minor stability issues. As a user of Boost, i would strongly recommend that users disable some of the beta features of Boost if it is making your Firefox lag. Other than that, Boost works as advertised.

2. Facebook Lite

Facebook Lite is essentially the lighter version of Facebook. It offers the basic functionality while trimming out or getting some of the lesser-used features out of the way, making stuffs such as page loading and navigation easier and smoother. My experience with Facebook improved a lot better after i used and compared the lite version with the original version.

There are no limitations to accessing the lite version of Facebook. Simply access Facebook Lite now and feel the difference yourself!.

Facebook Lite works on all version of different browsers.
