Hide “Seen” Notification of Facebook in Chrome and firefox

Facebook changed many things in their website. Many new features were added to make users happy. Sometimes we just love the updates made by Facebook and sometimes we hate such updates. Recently Facebook made a change in its messenger. A “seen” notification was added in the conversation. This feature helps people to know whether the receiver had read the message or not. But this feature is not helpful in certain situations. If you want to see the message and also don’t want to notify the sender, than here this is impossible. If you saw a message and didn’t respond then sender will definitely gets angry on you. So to avoid this problem, you can do a simple trick and can remove that notification. I will show you how you can remove “seen” feature of Facebook messages to peep in to your inbox without notifying the sender.


Facebook doesn’t allow us to do this. So we have to do this manually. If you use Chrome or Firefox browsers then it is possible. You just have to install a simple add-on or extension which can remove “seen” feature. This extension has some demerits as well. We will discuss it later. I will show you how you can hide seen feature on Facebook.

Hide “seen” notification of Facebook in Firefox.

• Install add-on.
• After installation, restart and login to your Facebook to see the changes.

It is simple and easy to use. It’s best if you want to hide your seen status. It works perfectly well. But as I said, these extensions have some problems. The major problem is that when you read messages, the messages always shows as unread. This is because Facebook assumes you didn’t see that message so they don’t give notification to the sender as well. Also this won't work if you access your account from mobile or mobile apps. If you do not have problem with this then go on and give it a try. It won’t harm you by any means. You can uninstall it anytime safely.
