How To Remove Facebook Timeline Profile Layout

I hate Facebook timelines. My initial expression was “Wow, this is going to be great” but honestly, I don’t like it anymore. It is  way slow, noisy and makes simple things difficult to find. Not to forget the live ticker on the right and the giant chat sidebar that surpasses through the screen, quite an annoying experience for many.

If you don’t like timeline profiles on Facebook and want to remove it or switch to the classic Facebook profile, here are some easy workarounds.

Use Internet Explorer To Get Back Old Facebook Profile

It turns out that the new timeline profiles are not very well optimized for older versions of Internet Explorer. If you login to Your Facebook account from Internet Explorer 7, there is a chance that you will see the classic profile and not the timeline. Windows XP users can try logging into Facebook via Internet Explorer 6 and they would see no timelines, live ticker and chat sidebar at all. Facebook is reduced to its bare minimum in Internet Explorer because of design and rendering issues.
Like I said, this is just a workaround as your timeline profile layout is not deactivated from your Facebook account. If you use Internet Explorer as your main browser, downgrade to an older version and bid adieu to timelines on Facebook.
At least for the time being!

Remove Facebook Timeline Layout In Google Chrome And Firefox
