Seen Blocker for Facebook™

Facebook™ Seen Blocker allows you to read your Facebook messages without notifying the sender.

Simply activate the extension via the toolbar button—it turns green when enabled—and it will block Facebook's read receipt requests. Your privacy settings persist across browsing sessions, ensuring consistent control over your message visibility. This lightweight extension offers an easy and effective way to read Facebook messages discreetly without notifying others, making it ideal for users who prefer to manage their interactions privately.

Extension safety

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Seen Blocker for Facebook™ requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
