User reviews

While the Messenger & Notifier for Facebook™ extension is praised for providing convenient browser-based access to Facebook Messenger with prompt notifications and a simple interface, many users experience persistent issues. Common problems include frequent error messages blocking usage, slow performance, missing features like dark mode and volume controls, and occasional notification or chat display bugs. Some users find it useful after logging in on messenger.com first, but overall reliability and speed concerns lead to mixed reviews.

Pros

Allows usage of Facebook Messenger directly in the browser without needing the main messenger.com page.
Notifies users promptly when a new message is received, even if the messenger tab is inactive.
Simple and easy to use interface.
Offers convenience for users who do not have a dedicated Messenger app on their system.
Some users appreciate its usefulness and find it handy and interesting.

Cons

Frequently shows an error message: 'Your Request Could Not be Processed', preventing login or message access.
Lack of features such as dark mode, volume adjustment for notifications, and window resizing.
Performance issues including slowness and delays when opening messages, impacting user experience.
Sometimes fails to correctly remember or display recently opened chats and notifications, especially from groups.
Login difficulties requiring users to sign in on messenger.com first, which is not clearly communicated.

Recent reviews

The message "Your Request Couldn't be Processed" persisted, but it stopped when the website was refreshed. Please have this fixed right away.
