The Genius Facebook Hack You've Never Heard Of

Feb 10 2016 - 11:15am

Anytime Facebook changes, most people clamor and scream about how it's time to leave the social media site once and for all. But now a Google Chrome extension [1] might actually bring the change you want to see on Facebook.

The new flat-design extension [2] attempts to refocus Facebook on content you care about [3], without other features like "Recent posts" and "Trending." Rof Tentik, a developer and UI designer, chose a flat design because it includes these main features: a page becomes easier to load, and the design can easily work on a variety of screens without looking too playful.

Also in this version of Facebook, the colors are bolder, the font is entirely Trebuchet, you see more white space, and it includes a sticky left-side menu showing everything about you, like photos, notifications, and groups.

You can also toggle on and off the extension at the top-left corner, so you're not always stuck with this design if you change your mind. Try it out — you might end up liking Facebook a lot more this way.
