How to stop Facebook switching to Top Stories

The order of posts displayed in Top Stories view depends on many factors, including how often you interact with a particular friend and the comment activity on particular posts. The idea being that in
Top Stories view, posts of most relevance or interest to you will always be at the top of your news feed. Facebook uses some unknown algorithm to determine when you should see Top Stories view and when Most Recent will be displayed – and that can indeed be very annoying. Just as annoying is the fact that there’s no simple option in Facebook to fix the view one way or the other. Fortunately, there is a workaround that involves adding a tiny bit of code to the end of the normal Facebook website address. In your web browser’saddress bar, type
www.facebook.com/?sk=h_chr – the‘/?sk=h_chr, the bit at the end tells Facebook to always
display your news feed in chronological order (meaning Most Recent view). Bookmark this page and use it to visit Facebook in future.
