Facebook itself does not allow you to make changers as you want. The management has never asked users while adding any feature to the web site nor they have plan to enquire in the future. User can either use the feature or left the Facebook for some other social networking site. They neither complain Facebook nor return to the old version of Facebook.
But Google Chrome brought some extensions which allows you to use Facebook as your wishes.
Facebook Messenger
Facebook Messenger is available for the both Android and iOS. Firefox embedded the application in the browser first and Google chrome still lacks of this feature.
Facebook Messenger, as its name, is an extension that imitates the messenger app into your browser. It opens as a separate window that you can send and receive messages in. You can view new friend requests, notifications and messages from the top bar. Whereas, clicking the menu button opens the side bar that lets you switch to your news feed, view events or visit one of the groups you have joined.
Facebook Chat Fix
Mostly users do not like the Facebook Chat bar as it takes up the entire length of the browser and has its own way or organizing your friends. If you miss the old Facebook chat bar, Facebook Chat Fix will restore it for you.
Facebook Panda
All maps embedded in Facebook are originally of the Microsoft’s Bing which may be annoying for some users. For some people maps are something that Google does exceptionally well. So, Facebook Panda is an extension that will replace Bing maps with Google maps. Though, you cannot use the zoom feature at Facebook but the map will be considerably better.
Status Snapper
Your Facebook news feed is a source of information for changes occurring in your friend’s life. But it might also be a cache of funny things your friends say or post. Sometimes they are too good to not share with the world. Status Snapper is a Chrome extension which allows you to take a screen shot of an update in your News Feed, blur out whatever you want i.e. names, display pictures, location and information etc and post the result as an image to share with the world.
Download FB Album Mod
You will be surprised to know that there is no “Download all” button at your albums on Facebook. In fact, Facebook allows its users to upload as many photos as they want but when it comes to download them, the social networking site is less cooperative. The solution to the problem is only to use Download FB Album Mod which is chrome’s extension that allows users to download small and large albums in one go. It adds a button to the URL bar and upon clicking it, the user can choose how to download the album.
Do Not Track Me Facebook
Facebook tracks the activities like a hound on each and every page for the social network which sometime annoying. The only way to avoid being tracked is to sign out of the network but smarter way to avoid Facebook tracking is to use an extension like Do Not Track Me Facebook which strips URLs shared on Facebook so that it cannot track which links you click on in your news feed.
Revenge Poke
For long, I did not see someone poking his friend as a consequence of Facebook’s decision to put the ‘Poke’ button under a drop down. So, Poke wars were not over for everyone as some user still uses the feature. If your friends poke you, Revenge Poke is only the weapon you need to win the war. It automatically pokes all your friends who have poked you when you visit the Poke notification page.
Facebook Chat Alerts
Sound alerts are exercised for new updates and messages you received on Facebook which creates annoying situation for many users. Facebook Chat Alerts gives you desktop notifications when one of your friends logs in to the service. The extension is incredible which allows you to receive notifications for all friends or for selected friends only.
Revert FB Photo Viewer
The theater view of Facebook is not popular and opening the image in a new tab will revert to the old view. Now, you can use Revert FB Photo Viewer to do this comfortably. The extension will always load images in the old view by default.
All extensions are tested carefully which performed well. But there is a possibility that all extensions may not work properly with each other.
