Quickly view your Facebook feed

Facebook for Chrome is an extension that allows users to quickly access their Facebook news feed, messages, and more.

Ever wanted to update your Facebook status without having to leave the webpage you're currently on? Facebook for Chrome will allow you to do this and more. After installing Facebook for Chrome and logging in, you're greeted with a simple interface that features a sidebar with icons for different features.

With Facebook for Chrome, you can access your news feed, update your status, view notifications, view events, view pictures, and view your messages. While all of this sounds great, there are a few drawbacks to Facebook for Chrome. While you can view your messages and events, you can't interact with them inside the extension. Clicking on a message or even will take you to the Facebook site. This is a shame, as Facebook for Chrome would have been great as a Facebook chat client.

The good news is that you can 'like' and comment on your news feed or photos within Facebook for Chrome. Now you won't be taken away from what you're currently doing to like or interact with photos or stories in your news feed. Facebook for Chrome also allows you to right-click on a page to share directly to Facebook. Unfortunately it doesn't allow you to add a comment before sharing and doesn't show a share confirmation.

Overall, Facebook for Chrome is a good extension to quickly glance at your information but is missing some features that stop it from being a complete portal to your Facebook.

User reviews about Facebook for Chrome

by Vikings!

Hey, that was good back in the days! If you use facebook not only for leisure, but also for work, you will need messages automation. Today you can try new browser extensions like Cucomm, for example (it’s got a free version, too). It sends multiple messages or automatically adds friends on your Facebook account. Easy to use, I appreciate it. So you can save much time.

Softonic

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
