Facebook© by default shows "Top Stories" on the homepage. This "Top Stories" are automatically curated list of items that Facebook© "decides" are relevant to you. Lots of times you'll miss recent posts by friends or pages because of this automatic behavior.

Facebook© gives you the option to navigate by "Most Recent", but it usually reverts back to "Top Stories", so this extension forces "Most Recent" by default, and removes the option to check "Top Stories".

The code behind this extension is Open Source and it does what it promises (it always loads "Most Recent", no matter what).

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Always Recent for Facebook© requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
