Use the "Feeds" tab (you have to go searching for it) but it allows you to just see stuff from your frields, pages you follow, groups, etc, purely in reverse chronological order, like God intended.

Same here. So weird to me that the tech crowd on Hackernews don't all use FBP or use the Facebook API to build their own front end.

Remarkably, despite caring about this kind of thing, I had never heard of FB Purity until today!

I am paranoid enough to wonder if I should be suspicious, but I am hopeful enough to wonder what other amazing stuff is out there to learn about.
