Framar
WOW Framer
No matter how much time spent on Facebook or on which device, lots of folks from all over the world are weeping and wailing and gnashing their teeth over this new design which makes it look like it was planned for four year-olds (or by four year-olds).
Some people got switched over months ago with no recourse whatsoever; others like me keep getting switched over almost daily but with the option of switching back after giving feedback. Mostly my feedback has consisted of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it," and "Get rid of bots and trolls and unproven so-called facts." What I absolutely loathe about the new look is that they have plunked my profile picture right smack dab in the middle of my always carefully laid out cover photo. So far, I have been fortunate enough that they always switch me back after I give my (presumably ignored) feedback.
Anyhow - that is the bad news.
The good news (which I have ignored for many years) is that there is an extension, F. B. (Fluff Busting) Purity, which allows the "Classic Facebook" to be customized so you can see what and who you want to see and won't be bothered by other carp (like stupid games or ads or "People you might know"). I have an old friend from Buffalo who is one of those prickly know-it-alls when it comes to FB and FB Purity (well, she is an expert on darned near everything, doncha know?), and she has been an advocate of it since it was created. It is highly rated by reputable sources. Everyone loves it! (Full disclosure, I have spent a lot of time customizing my FB by myself over the years I have not yet felt the need to install FB Purity.)

And now onto the second extension designed by the same guy, just in time for all those with the gnashing teeth described above - this tricks Facebook into believing your browser is old and won't support the new and annoying design so you get to keep the Classic FB.

N.B. This ability to do anything with Facebook and these extensions depends upon which browser you are using. I use Firefox and plan on availing myself of the RevertSite as soon as Facebook switches me over for good (or bad).
