Facebook doesn't switch me back. I've been in chronological mode for ~3 years now. I think it's per-device though so you do have to set it if you login somewhere new.

There may be A/B testing going on though.

I can say Facebook does switch this back every time I visit, and sometimes switching it to 'latest' literally causes the site to cease loading posts after one or two pages.

They might have changed it since I left Facebook but they absolutely did change that setting back frequently in the past. My frustration with that is one of the reasons I stopped using the site.
