One thing I *strongly* suggest for anyone on facebook. Install social fixer. http://socialfixer.com/ It works in all the major browsers other than explorer.
Among the things it can do: 1) Keep your newsfeed in chronological order instead of letting facebook choose what you see. Facebook has a setting for this, be keeps resetting it back to "Facebook orders posts by what it thinks you should seet" 2) Facebook by default adds a link to very comment you make to your wall. Social fixer can automatically delete those automatic posts. 3) If you hate timeline, it can undo a lot of the stuff that people who hate timeline find most annoying - including the mutli-column format. (Note this is installed in your browser, so it affect how you see stuff, not how anyone else sees stuff.) 4) In general it gives you a lot more control so of the way way facebook presents itself to you. You can leave anything you like in place, and alter much of what you don't like in terms of interface.
Honestly, Schmuckerman ought to kiss the sociafixer developer's ass or at least throw him some money, cause I'm pretty sure socialfixer is helping to retain users who would otherwise be driven away.
