Facebook In-Feed App Blocker

MAFIA-WAR SCRIPT
Script Summary:
Adds "[BLOCK APP]" link to block (not just hide) apps within the news feed. Automatically blocks quizzes
A note about terminology:
Hiding an app tells facebook to stop showing posts from it in your feed. This is roughly the same as removing these items from display using javascript, as is done in most facebook greasemonkey scripts.
Blocking an app is substantially different than simply hiding it:
- block apps cannot gather information about you if you visit their home page
- block apps cannot gather information about you if your FRIEND visits their home page
- block apps cannot send you notifications, invites, or mail
This script does not just hide apps. It blocks them. Some of them (quizzes) it blocks automatically.
You should probably visit http://www.facebook.com/privacy/?view=platform&... and refuse some or all access to your personal info from apps you have not specifically decided to give this information to.
Technical note:
When you click on [BLOCK APP] (or a quiz is auto-blocked), the scripts loads the necessary pages to perform the block operation in a hidden iFrame. If several apps are blocked in rapid succession, you may find your browser lagging for a moment as it performs two page loads per app. This is normal and largely unavoidable.

how do i use this??
