4. Change Facebook theme to be flat!

Facebook, by itself, doesn’t allow you to change the theme but you can do it using one very excellent Chrome extension. Personally, I feel that the flat look is much better. It blocks ads, Makes Facebook loads faster, and viral news suggestions.

Go to the Chrome Web Store, search for Flatbook or click -> Flatbook , and install it. Click here for more Facebook Themes.

5. Disable “Seen” on Facebook messages

 Sometimes ago, I had read a Quora post which said introverts wished there was no “seen” feature on Facebook. I can’t say, how much right it is, but surely there are times when we want to disable that feature.

Facebook doesn’t provide such comfort but you can do it using yet another Chrome extension. It is called “Social Reviver”.

6. Save your favorite posts

You probably were obsessed at least once with all those posts on your feed. Sometimes you just don’t have the time to read them and have an urgent work to complete. Well, no problem! You can just save the particular post. To do this, click on the little drop-down arrow on the top right of a Facebook post and click on the “Save post”. That’s all it takes.

To unfollow someone, visit their Facebook profile and click on “Following”. From the drop-down list select “Unfollow” and you will stop seeing their posts on your news feed.
