Oh "great", that "feature" killed Facebook for me (early 2012).
I want to skim through all entries in a linear fashion ordered by date descending.
Now Twitter want to do the same, that FB did in 2012.

m2w forces it to display in desktop mode on my Nexus 5 and sk=h_chr forces the Newsfeed to display in chronological order.
Presumably Twitter's web page UI would allow for a similar manipulation.
I don't use the FB android app because it inserts ads between Newsfeed content, as does the mobile Web view. Viewing FB in desktop mode on my mobile allows me to zoom the middle column (the newsfeed) to the width of my screen, pushing the advert column to the right, off screen.
I would probably switch away from the twitter app if they made this change.
Until the end of 2011, you could read really all posts of your friends incl. all Farmville, etc posts. The automatics filtering and the automatic inclusion of certain "featured posts" of friends-of-friends and advertisement is what destroyed FB for me.
My issue with it has been even though it's chronological, it doesn't actually show you all the posts from all your friends. It still does it's own crappy algorithmic filter(I think it's based on interaction) and I miss stuff from people I want to hear from all the time. I only have about 60 friends and no one is relatively chatty so there's no reason why I should miss anything.
I use this bookmark too, but no, it doesn't. Posts are still "bumped" with comments and things are filtered. Can't stand it...
There's a good reason they listen to the data and not to the user complaints of a vocal minority.
