Hi, perhaps you already know this, but I find FaceBook much easier to
deal with if I use the mobile site instead. You can access it by going
to http://m.facebook.com
I personally find this method much easier to use and have no problems at
all with things being hidden or having to mouse around and all of the
other headaches web 2.0 give us currently.

I don’t believe this has been discussed before. I just made a discovery.
Try logging into Facebook and doing the following:
Once the page is loaded, press Alt-v followed by the letter y.
Examine the two options. More than likely, the Basic page style is checked.
Press Enter on the No Style option.
When the page reloads, notice the increased number of links and
headings; examine the page. Notice that you can get to many things that
were seemingly invisible.
I don’t recommend this as a method for constantly viewing the page, but
you cannot hide posts without using the No Style option. For example, I
had a friend who sent something from an application to about 20 people,
and her posts were just about the only things appearing on my home page.
I couldn’t hide her using the Basic Style option, but I could by using
the No Style option. Once her posts were hidden, I discovered I had
several other friends posting away, too.
There are many other things that become visible as well. Here are some
examples:
1. All edit boxes for comments are now in
view, so no more routing the mouse, fine tuning the mouse location,
turning off Browse Mode, and left-clicking. If I remember correctly,
Browse Mode still has to be turned on manually after pressing Enter on
the Share button. (Please forgive my lack of memory; I am quite excited.)
2. There is now an edit box for searching.
3. The Edit link for changing application
settings is available once again. It disappeared with the new layout.
4. A few of your latest notifications are
visible. This is not even the case for sighted individuals using the
page with the Basic Option checked.
I realize there are some things that are useless in this view and that
it seems to be a bit overwhelming. However, it is another option for
getting around on Facebook.
