SafeChat.IM Encrypted Facebook Messenger
Not only does SafeChat.IM take control over your Facebook Messenger contact list and allows you to exchange messages using its own client, but it also improves Facebook Messenger security by adding SSL encryption.
After installing the app, you’ll of course have to give it permissions to access your Facebook account and contact list. Once you’ve done that, when you want encrypted chat you just need to fire up SafeChat.IM. Regular chat is also available, if you don’t want to use SafeChat.IM.

Facebook Messenger
If on the other hand you’re not interested in an encrypted Facebook Messenger, but would like to have the standard messenger inside Google Chrome, Facebook Messenger extension is what you need.
Like every other extension, Facebook Messenger adds its icon to the top right corner of the interface. When you left click on it a window will pop-up where you should see a list of messages that you’ve exchanged with your contacts. Make sure that you’re logged into Facebook before running Facebook Messenger, otherwise it won’t work.

SeenBlock
Here’s a useful extension for Facebook Messenger that will come in handy when you don’t want people to know that you’ve read their message.
Introduction of the “Seen” and “Typing” alerts to Facebook Messenger has probably brought more harm than good. With them, you can’t pretend that you didn’t see someone’s message, which can come in handy when you wanna ignore someone. SeenBlock brings you back that “functionality”. With this Facebook Messenger extension you can block both “seen” and “typing” alerts when using Facebook Messenger.

Facebook Messenger Notifications

You just need to make sure that you’re logged into Facebook, extension will do the rest and keep you notified about new messages and happening on Facebook.
