About a month ago, I published a post in which I shared a trick to disable Facebook Timeline using User Agent Switcher. In that trick, we took advantage of the Internet Explorer 7 browser to disable the Timeline feature, as Facebook new profile page layout doesn’t support IE 7. We used User Agent Switcher and let Chrome/Firefox/Safari pretend to be Internet Explorer 7.
The method is still working but it takes a little time. No one would like to waste even a single second while enjoying the social networking site. I know many of you are still annoyed with this completely revamped profile page layout. That’s why I’ve come up with another solution that is pretty simple. Someone has developed a Chrome extension that will remove Facebook Timeline feature in a jiffy.
Disable Facebook Timeline With TimelineRemove
TimelineRemove is an extension for Google Chrome browser. As its name implies, it will completely remove the Timeline feature from Facebook and bring back the old profile layout. The profile page will now look the same as it used to, just like the old 3 column profile layout. You just need to install this extension and keep it enabled. That’s it !! you don’t have do anything else. Here’s the preview of my Facebook profile page when I enabled the extension.
Earlier I have found so many extensions that claims to remove Timeline but none of them met my expectations. Most of them were fake and contained virus. But this TimelineRemove extension is tested by me and it’s working perfectly. It installs like any other Chrome extensions. It requires your permission to access your data on Facebook, tabs and browsing activities and your bookmarks.
When you grant permission, it will add a new icon in the browser toolbar. You have to click on the newly added icon. A pop-up will appear right beneath the icon where you’ll be provided with the option to disable and enable Facebook Timeline feature, as you can see in the screenshot above. It’s that easy.
Once you have enabled TimelineRemove extension, Facebook Timeline feature will never bother you again. Visit your friends profile page to check if it’s properly working for all profile pages. The extension disables the Timeline feature only. It doesn’t mean that it has been permanently removed or your friends will not see Timeline on your profile page. If you want Timeline feature back, just disable the extension from the settings and everything will be back to normal.
You can download TimelineRemove extension for Chrome browser from here. As of now, the extension is available for Google Chrome users only. I’ll update the post if I find it for Firefox and Safari. If you know any other extension or add-on to disable Facebook Timeline for Firefox and other browsers, do let me know via the comment section. I would appreciate your help.
