How to know who deleted you from their friend list on facebook

                    Apparently,you may be interested in knowing who has deleted you from their buddy lists, and many fake apps came up claiming to show this but in the case of Facebook it is possible to find out who removed you from their friends by installing a web browser extension, called unfriend Finder which is a Greasemonkey Script that lets you see who deleted you from their friend list on Facebook.

What you have to do to install unfriend Finder is first determine which browser you’re going to install, if you’re going to install Firefox, make sure you have Greasemonkey installed, but if you use Safari, Opera or Chrome is not necessary Greasemonkey, then download the script directly.

Once installed, Unfriend Finder menu comes on Facebook and see a new option in the top menu called Unfriends, there you will see the count of the friends that will be removed, nothing will start, then this count will begin to appear after days and after you are removed from someone’s list.

Also, on the left side is another menu with more options where you can also easily see the friend requests you’ve sent (Pending) and the ones you do not yet accepted. P.S. If you install this Script and fall into depression, only thing you can do to stop this is by uninstalling the script.
