Features & Capabilities

Old Layout for Facebook Chrome Extension

The Old Layout for Facebook Chrome extension allows users to revert Facebook to its classic design prior to the September 2020 update. This extension works by modifying the browser’s user-agent string to one unsupported by Facebook's new layout, effectively restoring the familiar interface many users prefer.

Enjoy a smoother and more familiar Facebook browsing experience without the need to adapt to the new design. This tool is simple to use and ideal for those who prefer the original look and feel of Facebook over the updated interface introduced in late 2020.

Is Old Layout for Facebook Safe?

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.

Old Layout for Facebook requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
