User Reviews
I really like this add-on, as I can just use messenger and not be disturbed by the rest of facebook. Unfortunately, it just makes the whole messenger part run so incredibly slow that I've ended up giving up using this tool altogether. I hope to be able to come back later and it might run better. The problems are there even though both firefox and SimpleUI are updated to the latest versions. Then it can take several minutes to load messenger. But if I turn it off, we're talking seconds.

Thank you for making this. I was worried I'd have to keep a tab open on FB itself for Messenger once they turned off the dedicated Messenger site and its associated extensions would no longer work. This is perfect timing, much appreciated.

Is SimpleUI for Facebook Messenger Safe?
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.
SimpleUI for Facebook Messenger requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
