Fluff Busting Purity, or FB Purity for short (previously known as Facebook Purity) is a web browser extension designed to customise the Facebook website's user interface and add extra functionality.

It is available for Firefox, Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Safari, Opera and the Maxthon Cloud Browser.

A browser extension is a plug-in that extends the functionality of a web browser.

Some extensions are authored using web technologies such as HTML, JavaScript, and CSS.

Others are developed using machine code and application programming interfaces (APIs) provided by web browsers, such as NPAPI and PPAPI.

Browser extensions can change the user interface of the web browser without directly affecting viewable content of a web page; for example, by adding a browser toolbar.

Facebook is an American for-profit corporation and online social media and social networking service based in Menlo Park, California.

The Facebook website was launched on February 4, 2004, by Mark Zuckerberg, along with fellow Harvard College students and roommates, Eduardo Saverin, Andrew McCollum, Dustin Moskovitz, and Chris Hughes.

Electronic spamming is the use of electronic messaging systems to send an unsolicited message (spam), especially advertising, as well as sending messages repeatedly on the same site.

While the most widely recognized form of spam is email spam, the term is applied to similar abuses in other media: instant messaging spam, Usenet newsgroup spam, Web search engine spam, spam in blogs, wiki spam, online classified ads spam, mobile phone messaging spam, Internet forum spam, junk fax transmissions, social spam, spam mobile apps, television advertising and file sharing spam.

It is named after Spam, a luncheon meat, by way of a Monty Python sketch about a menu that includes Spam in every dish.

The food is stereotypically disliked/unwanted, so the word came to be transferred by analogy.

An application program (app or application for short) is a computer program designed to perform a group of coordinated functions, tasks, or activities for the benefit of the user.

Examples of an application include a word processor, a spreadsheet, an accounting application, a web browser, a media player, an aeronautical flight simulator, a console game or a photo editor.

The collective noun application software refers to all applications collectively.

This contrasts with system software, which is mainly involved with running the computer.
