STEP BY STEP TUTORIAL:
1. Go to http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/107159 and click the Install button.
2. When warning shows, just click the Continue button.
3. Then click the Install button as what the image below shows.
And reload the Facebook site :)
If you don't want to use the old Facebook chat Side Bar anymore, Go to the Wrench Icon of Google Chrome > Tools > Extensions and choose to Disable temporarily the script or Uninstall to delete permanently.
ADVANTAGES:
Shows all online and idle friends, not just the ones you talk to frequently, it also hides offline friends.
DISADVANTAGES:
The customized chat friend list can not be seen.
NOTE:
This is NOT a true reversion, this just mimics some of the functionality of the old chat while removing the annoying features of the new sidebar.
No promises to keep this up to date as Facebook changes in the future.
Goodluck!
Thanks to userscripts.org!
