Yeah, as a user I actually like it. They have so much data that I can refresh and usually find something more interesting than the queue I'm standing in. It doesn't work somewhere like Twitter/Instagram where the order of posts can matter and people post multiple times per day but on Facebook it generally works.

To each their own, I can see how some would like it but it's absolutely infuriating to me to be clicking away, and then suddenly see something interesting that I want to open in a new tab. So I go back, and surprise! Entirely new list of items. "Oh, I guess my friend didn't post that, Facebook was just showing me something they reacted to". No way of ever finding it again, unless if someone can conjure up or point me where to watch my friends reactions? The inconsistency of the newsfeed (between the above behavior, and the constant need to change the sort order to "most recent" because no matter how many times I choose that option I always find it flips back to "Top stories") is by far the most aggravating thing about using the site to me, personally.

  On Facebook I use their 'saved' feature so I save anything I see that I find interesting before moving away. I totally understand though as I have this problem with Instagram.

The really annoying part is when you accidentally click some link that opens in the same tab, or click back, or do anything else that needs to reload the page to open the feed. You effectively lose all progress you've made reading through it.

  This is my biggest problem with it. I don't mind so much that if I force refresh of the timeline it changes but if I click on something, either on purpose or accidently, and I come back I am not where I left off and the timeline is completely different now.
