If like me you hate the timeline and want rid of it, this will sort you out. (for now anyway) until FB recode to stop it.

I tried putting the link on my FB page for friends to see and FB blocks the link, had to laugh at that one

I'm using it on FF 15.1 at the moment and its working perfectly, havent noticed any problems, its been reviewed in a few of the computer mags and seems to be free of malware adware etc etc

I dont understand what the big issue with timeline is, Initially I understand that no one likes change but surely people have got used to it now, I think its okay.
That program is just spyware. You do realise it will be able to access any of your personal info on Facebook, your browsing history and your bookmarks/favourites don't you?
If you look at their terms they actually admit to installing adware:

Use of TimelineRemove software

5. This plug-in is a free software but we may at any time add advertisements in your FACEBOOK pages to support the development of the software.

I have no problem with change if its fit for purpose and the way It works is for the better, but as far as i'm concerned timeline is garbage and its very slow

<If you look at their terms they actually admit to installing adware:>

no they dont

Use of TimelineRemove software

5. This plug-in is a free software but we may at any time add advertisements in your FACEBOOK pages to support the development of the software.

<we may> thats not the same as actually doing

theres enough crap on FB pages already so more will hardly make any difference, and as with other sites most ads can usually be blocked

If youre that worried about spware you wouldnt even use FB in the first place.

First rule of FB always log out if you dont want to be followed around the web more than you already are.
And if youre using a "smartphone" especially, then this is all pretty academic because unless you know what youre doing and know what to turn off and dissable these are shouting out your wherabouts in all sorts of ways to all sorts of institutions and sites etc
Lol Chuck, my thoughts exactly.

Who needs who here though ?

I couldnt care less if FB went out of existence in the next 30 seconds, wouldnt bother me in the slightest, everything that I use FB for can be done just as easily in a myriad of other ways
If you really believe that then you deserve any problems you get from this software.

the internet by its very nature has become "spyware" , I've been using it from virtually day one way back when there were literally a few hundred "sites" and using "spiders" to trawl the web and I have yet to be infected by spyware thats ever caused a problem, never had any viruses etc .

I think youre a bit of an alarmist/ or you really dont understand how the whole "interweb" currently works.
Hmm this could be awesome, I do dislike the timeline. Will others be able to view your profile the old way as well?
I take my last post back(this place needs editing and delete buttons). I dislike the timeline but I only ever use FB in the first place to make plans with my friends. It seems a waste to install this software for something that doesn't matter.
