It's funny about #1, since when the NewsFeed appeared on Facebook most people were mad about the change. It was a weird thing going from assuming that only people who viewed your profile (e.g. enough to care) would see your goofy pics, and then now they were splashed in front of anyone you added as a 'friend'.
- spacecadet 12y agoI unfollow all old/new friends and likes. I have no news feed.

- giancarlostoro 12y agoA combination of NoScript and / or RequestPolicy works best for this. No need to rely on software that sometimes doesn't truly block all advertisements.
- timerickson 12y agoI'm incredibly curious what this looks like— does it just display an empty state? "Oops we have no stories for you!" or similar?
- derefr 12y agoPresumably it would display the same "There's no news; you should add some more friends!" message you get when you've first signed up and skipped the friend-recommendation step.
- thisisnotatest 12y agoMaybe most people who were vocal about the change were mad, while the rest of us happily used it. I do remember how jarring the change felt, but it quickly become obvious what a new and useful experience it was.
