Last year in September at F8 developers conference Facebook unveiled its new layout called the ‘Facebook Timeline’ for all 800 million users on its network, but it wasn’t released publicly to everyone’s profile, so hardly very few Facebook users who knew about it, enabled and used it.
Timeline is the most unwanted feature that have ever happened on Facebook. Questions like how can I remove Facebook Timeline and how to revert back to old profile are regularly asked by many people. If you are also thinking the same, then let’s learn how to disable the new Timeline feature and restore the old classic look.

If you are also thinking the same, then let’s learn how to disable the new Timeline feature and restore the old classic look.
For Google Chrome users:
- Install F.B. Purity browser extension.
- Download this .bat file and save it to your computer.
- Close all open Chrome browser tabs and windows and click on the downloaded .bat file. This will run Chrome as IE7 as its user agent.
- Visit any Timeline profile page and you will see that it is displayed as old style profile page. With this step, we just killed the new Facebook Timeline. Just in case if you want to view the new Timeline instead, then open Chrome from your normal Chrome icon, instead of running the browser from the newly downloaded .bat file.
- Install the F.B. purity browser extension for Firefox.
- Install the “User Agent Switcher” Extension from here.
- Navigate to “Tools > User Agent Switcher > Internet Explorer” menu and then click on “Internet Explorer 7″.
- In case you want to view the new Timeline, then then just set the user agent to “Default User Agent” or simply disable this user agent switcher extension.
- Install the FB Purity browser extension for Opera.
- Setting up custom user agent in Opera is easy. In the URL/address bar, type “opera:config#ISP|Id” and then enter the Custom User Agent string “Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0)” and click “Save”.
- Restart your browser and then you will be able to see the old Facebook profile.
- Install the F.B. Purity browser extension for Safari.
- To switch user agent, go to “Preferences” menu, select “Advanced”, and then tick the “Show Develop menu in menu bar” option.
- Click on the page icon menu (which is next to cog wheel icon) and then select the “Develop/User agent” menu. Now you can select the user agent which you wish to set for browsing. Select Internet Explorer 7. Browse to a Timeline profile and you will be able to see your profile in old format.
