Check messenger without the stress. Don't send typing indicators or read receipts. Free & open source, only 30 lines of code.
Messenger Unread Extension
As of December 2020 this extension no longer works 😭 Facebook changed how they fetch messages and it's now harder to disable read receipts. If you have any ideas on how to fix it, let me know on github: https://github.com/raphaelrk/messenger-lowkey
