## Description

**Message Seen Disable for Facebook™** is a useful Chrome extension that allows you to automatically disable the Message Seen feature on your Facebook™ account. This means that when you read messages, the sender won't be notified with a 'seen' receipt, enabling greater privacy and control over your message interactions. 

While the extension disables the message read receipt for your account, you can still view the 'seen' status from others, ensuring that you remain connected without compromising your own message privacy. It's a helpful tool for Facebook™ users looking to manage their online presence discreetly.

## Review summary

Multiple users report that while the add-on works well on classic Facebook to disable message 'seen' notifications, it does not function with the new Facebook interface. Users appreciate its privacy benefits but express frustration over the lack of clear status indicators and confusion around Container Tabs dependencies. Developer support appears lacking, with calls to remove the extension due to breakage. The add-on remains useful for users on classic Facebook but needs updates to support newer versions and improve usability.

### Pros

- Allows users to disable Facebook message 'seen' receipts, helping maintain privacy.
- Simplifies the process of hiding message read status compared to manual router/filter level blocking.
- Works effectively on classic Facebook for blocking message read notifications when no response is typed.
- Helps users manage message visibility especially when checking work messages without wanting immediate responses.

### Cons

- Does not work with the new Facebook version, only with the classic version.
- Confusing or lacking clear visual indicators for whether the add-on is active or not.
- Dependency issues or confusion around requiring Container Tabs extension, which may affect functionality.
- The developer's support seems unavailable; add-on page not maintained and should possibly be removed.
