Seen Blocker: Maintain Privacy in Facebook Messages

'Seen Blocker' is a Chrome extension designed for Facebook users who cherish their privacy. It allows you to open Facebook messages incognito, halting Facebook from sending 'Seen' notices to your contacts whenever you open a message. It equally prevents the 'Typing' indicator from showing up when you type a message. However, it doesn't block the 'Seen' feature from Facebook group posts. In addition, it offers a choice of two operation options that can be toggled on and off at your discretion.

Extension summary

Analyze keywords

Take privacy back into your own hands! Seen Blocker stops Facebook from reporting 'Seen' to messages that you open on Facebook.com. It also prevents the typing indicator from appearing as you type a message.

This extension is small and easy to use - two options are available which toggle the 'Seen' and 'Typing' blocking, and can be turned on and off at your leisure.

Note: This does NOT block the 'Seen' feature from Facebook group posts, only for messaging.
