How To Remove/Hide "Seen" Option From Facebook Chat

Hello guys.. welcome to Youths Area. As you all know, Facebook is one of the world’s biggest and popular social networking website founded by Mr. Mark Zuckerberg. You may have seen that Facebook keeps making some change in its website and introduces new features in it like graph search, timeline and many more. One of the new features that is introduced by Facebook is “seen” option on chat box. Now if we read someone’s message on Facebook then the sender easily come to know that we have seen his message. Also it show the time when we read that message e.g SEEN at 7:24 PM. This feature sometime annoys many Facebook users. So if you want to remove or hide this “seen” option from your Facebook chatbox, then you are here at the right place. Today I will show how you can remove/hide "seen" option from Facebook chatbox.

As Facebook doesn’t allow us to hide this option in any of their setting, so we have to add some add-ons in our browsers to remove this “seen” feature. As most of the user use either Firefox or Chrome to surf internet, so this trick is working for Firefox and chrome only. So here is the trick.
