Google Chrome Extension Facebook Friends Mapper: A Step-by-Step Guide

Are you looking for a way to map your Facebook friends' location in real-time? Look no further than the Google Chrome extension, Facebook Friends Mapper. This powerful tool allows you to extract links to Facebook accounts and track their current location using Google Maps.

Step 1: Log In and Navigate to the Profile

To get started, log in to your Facebook account and navigate to the profile of your target. If you're already on the profile, click on 'Friends' to map the friend list of your target. Alternatively, you can enter the Facebook ID of your target directly into the following link: 'friends'. Make sure to load all friends of the account into your screen by holding down the space bar.

Step 2: Filter All Links

Next, click on the Link Gopher icon in the top right corner of your browser and select 'Extract links by filter.' Enter 'friends_profile' as the filter and click 'Ok' to let the extension do its work. We apply this filter to ensure that we only extract links to Facebook accounts.

Step 3: Extract Links and Clean Up Data

The Link Gopher extension will now extract all links to Facebook accounts for you. Copy these results and paste them into a Microsoft Excel file or your program of choice. If you have all the links in an Excel file, select the column containing the data and click on 'Data' > 'Text to columns' > 'Separated' > 'Next.' Enter the question mark (?) as a separator and click 'Finish' to clean up the list.
