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

Check messenger without the stress. Don't send typing indicators or read receipts.

🤫 Don't show people you've read their message or when you're typing
❤️ We're firm believers in data privacy and don't collect or share any data.
💻 Free and open source. Only thirty lines of code, and easy to install yourself.

Before 😭 You have messages but don't check them, leading to long response times
After 😍 Read and reply to messages as soon as you get them without pressure

👋 Texting should be relaxed
Read receipts and typing indicators optimize for engagement, not comfort. By making your actions more private, we make it easier to read and respond.

It stopped working several months ago after Facebook changed how they fetch messages :( hope you all enjoyed it while it worked, and maybe one day I can get it to work again. The project is completely open source, feel free to create a pull request or issue if you have an idea on how to fix it! https://github.com/raphaelrk/messenger-lowkey
