How do I make it so that the whole world doesn't see who I just became friends with, or which wall I wrote on?

P.S. If it makes a difference, I use Chrome... but if there's nothing for Chrome and just Firefox, I'd consider using Ff just for Facebook.

Any Add-on that can stop those actions from showing up on everyone else's wall? An incognito mode.

I know exactly what you mean. You have to remove them manually (I do it everytime I do something).

First start up several successful small business that pull in six figures for 15-20 hours worth of work. Painstakingly grow those businesses over years of hard work. Once you have a passive income stream of $250k or more, hire someone to manage your facebook account for you.

Im confused as to what exactly you'd NOT want others on your FRIENDS list to see/know?

....letters? Do you drop them off at the post office after you tie your horse to the post outside? :p

The question is, why are there to begin with if you then want to remove what you've done on it.

Out of curiosity, why is there any discussion of browsers? How would your browser affect what other people see?

I still call, email and write my family and friends. Facebook allows for more simplistic updates and general "mass mailings" of events and things I may want them to know about etc.

Move your mouse over the item on you wall and hit remove.

Now as for things showing up on the news feed, this is very uncontrollable now. Back before December/November 2009 there was a privacy option for news feed stuff. This was from 2006 or 07 when they first turned Facebook into stalkerbook by publishing all your activity. People were shocked because people would auto-announce when they broke up and crap. So Facebook allowed you to fine tune WHAT you publish to your news feed and what you don't.

Now it seems they randomly pick and choose (with some priority) as to what you do gets to show up on the news feed. A good amount of it does.

So while you can remove it off your wall, which is literally like your browser history, it still can show up on someone's news feed. It kinda sucks because it usually takes my FIRST wall post to a friend's wall of each day and publicizes it even if I remove it off my wall.

You wall really is just a history of what you do. It's completely separate from the news feed.

Wife discovers husband's secret life on Facebook

http://www.9news.com/news/article.aspx?storyid=146057&provider=top&catid=188

CLEVELAND - An Ohio woman says she's still in a state of shock after discovering her husband's second, secret life on Facebook.

"Megan" said she didn't suspect her husband of another marriage until the evidence was on her computer screen.

Her relatives pointed her to the other woman's Facebook page where Megan discovered multiple photos of her husband and the woman together.

A few weeks later, dozens of wedding photos also showed up on Facebook showing Megan's husband and his new bride.
