Hacker News Reader

It still filters the content, right? You won't see all posts of your friends, afaik. [that was the bad change in early 2012 after all]

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.

Yes, I guess it's still curated to some extent but I've clicked on the little menu for items I don't want to see a while bunch of times now and FB appears to be doing what I want it to mostly.

Yup. It's hardly any different to the standard sorting, because facebook's business is controlling what you see. I don't know why people keep spreading that like it's some protip.
