Is it chrome or facebook

Whenever I click on a fb post link chrome opens it in fb, then just when I've started commenting etc it reloads it with a different orientation. Really irritating as it slows me down so much. Does anyone know if it is chrome or facebook and if there's a way to turn it off please?

It basically reloads with the comment thing on the right hand side instead of underneath.

    It is a FB thing if a post is linked to directly instead of the page - I do not know how to change it and I find it annoying as well - It is either wait for the view to finish messing around and use it or click it away to get back to normal view or (if it is posted) use the link to the page and look for the comp posts which are usually easy to find.

    i usually keep clicking on the esc button on my keyboard to either stop it loading up or to get rid of it quickly, if you google fb purity it is an add on that lets you remove lots of the rubbish facebook force on you, although it doesn't work for what you have mentioned it is a brilliant add on for making facebook how you like it instead of being inundated with all their ads and other rubbish
