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.
