Remove Facebook Timeline 100% working

Facebook recently rolled out the Facebook Timeline to all users. Unfortunately, it does not

have any option for users to disable it making several users angry about the fact.



Now there are several Greasemonkey scripts and User styles which will allow you to

disable the Facebook Timeline. However, most of them require you to perform several

actions before you can get back to your old profile. Also, the same solution won’t work for 

all the browser. So, if you are looking for a simple solution to disable Facebook Timeline

with minimal efforts, here is what you can do.



Please note: This trick will only disable Facebook Timeline for yourself. It will not hide

your Facebook Timeline from your friends and they will still be able to view it.



The Easiest Solution – Use Internet Explorer 7. Facebook Timeline is not supported on

IE7 and probably won’t be in the future too. If you don’t want to browse your profile or 

your friends profile with Facebook Timeline, just use Internet Explorer 7.



If you use browsers like Google Chrome, Firefox or Opera you can still mimic your

browser string as Internet Explorer 7 and fool Facebook into believing that you are using 

IE7 thus disabling or removing the Facebook Timeline for you. You can use the following

add-on, extensions and tricks to fool Facebook.



For all purposes below, the user agent string for IE7 is given below:



Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0;)



Firefox Users – Install the User Agent Switcher add-on and follow the instructions given at

this link to add a new IE7 user agent to the add-on and then use the user agent while

browsing Facebook.



Google Chrome Users – Create a new shortcut for Google Chrome and name it Facebook

or something. Once you have done that, edit the shortcut and add -user-agent="Mozilla/4.0

(compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0;)" to it. Once you have done that, use the shortcut

while you are browsing Facebook and the timeline will be disabled. (Find Instructions for

creating and editing the Chrome shortcut)



Safari Users – Enable Develop mode in Safari by going to Preference -> Advanced and

selecting the check box next to "Show Develop menu in menu bar". Once you have done

that, select the "User Agent" sub-menu from the Develop menu and select "Internet

Explorer 7.0" from the available options.



Internet Explorer Users – If you are using IE7, you don’t need to do anything. If not, you 

can make use of an IE Add-on called UA Pick. Instructions on changing your user-agent in

IE at this link.
