How to Make Someone Disappear on Facebook

Is there a certain someone whose pictures and status updates you would rather not see? Like, ever? Wish you could hide a person on Facebook without publicly defriending him or her? Your new best friend is a Michel Gondry-inspired Google Chrome extension named Eternal Sunshine.

Unlike Facebook's built-in ignore tool, the Eternal Sunshine browser add-on will hide almost everything to do with the person: This includes stream updates, profile updates, profile photo updates, photo-page photo albums, sidebar-suggested photo albums, the chat list, the frequent friends list and the user profile friends list.

Want to try Eternal Sunshine for yourself? A full set-up guide follows below.
