Luckily there is soultion.

Steve has wroten Facebook Purity Greasemonkey script for cleaning up Facebook from quiz and trivia, while Daniel has edited it not to block some applications as well. You need to have Greasemonkey Firefox add-on installed first to be able to use Greasemonkey scripts.

Here is Steve’s script and here is Daniel’s edited script.

Both are working like a charm and quizzes and trivia are blocked directly and only thing that you will see is one short message about blocked items like on picture bellow.

Update 2009-06-15:  Steve has asked Daniel to remove improved version of his script and he did it. Lame if you ask me, because his script blocks also some applications as well. Luckily I have a backup :-) .
