Ok, so it is not all about Facebook, but you know how it is (well, maybe you know how it is) when you are looking into something about a subject other things similar come up? I was on Facebook the other day looking into the Legacy Contact thing and I was annoyed about the “top stories”. Why won’t Facebook just allow us to set “most recent” as the default and just let it be permanent? Why does it default back to “top stories”? So frustrating especially since Facebook is the one that decides what is “top” and what is not. They are the ones that force the feed. Well, I Googled it and a post came up that had a suggestion on how to see the top stories – permanently. Unfortunately it only works on a computer — well you can do it on a mobile device, but it doesn’t work on the application that Facebook has.
So the blog says to use this: https://www.facebook.com/?sk=h_chr URL instead of Facebook.com. I don’t see a date on the post – that always annoys me, but since I figure blog writers want their readers to know the dates of the post, I just assume I can’t see it. The first comment is dated November 2016. So the post is at least that old.
The way this is a permanent solution is that you always have to log on to Facebook through that URL. That way it will always show you the most recent.
Again, this will work through a browser, so if you want to use a browser instead of an application to access Facebook use that URL. But it won’t work with the applications made for the mobile devices. I was able to change the URL in my “Top Sites” in my browser and bookmark it. I do access Facebook from my computer a lot, not as much as my phone, but I do use my computer.
Interesting, yes? I think so. Anyone still use a browser to log onto Facebook?
