Chrome Extension For Facebook Visitors
As a Facebook user, you might be curious to know who has viewed your Facebook profile. In this blog, I would mention all the possible ways, but you can rarely catch your Facebook visitor‘s name.
I was sometimes curious to find out who is spying on my Facebook profile, and I started to search for all the possible ways or any recommendations across the web. I finally came to a list that I would mention bellow and my conclusion on how to see who has viewed my Facebook profile at the end of this article.
Can I see who viewed my Facebook?
As I have seen on many platforms like Quora, the most asked question about Facebook profile viewing is how users can find the name of visitors to their profile. It could have lots of reasons, and it may even help you to grow your Facebook profile faster.
Knowing who has viewed your Facebook account is one way to guess how Facebook suggestion might work, and you can change the audience of your profile. Though Facebook itself has announced that you cannot see who has viewed the profile using Facebook profile viewer but there are still some coding-ways to find out the address of visitors.
Although I recommend another platform like LinkedIn in which you can easily find out about the profile views or who has searched your name. if anyone searches your name on the internet and they open your LinkedIn profile, you can see their profile through the platform easily. LinkedIn would notify you about profile visitors.
Who viewed your Facebook profile?
There are four methods to check Facebook visitors, which I explain here:
Method # 1: social profile extension page
Type social profile chrome extension on Google. There is one extension that helps you to find out your Facebook visitors. To use this way:
- click on three-dot icon on top right of Chrome browser
- Scroll down to see “More Tools”
- Find extensions from the menu.
- Search for social profile view notification.
- Choose “Add to Chrome” and click on “Add extension.”
- Login to your Facebook profile and click on your profile picture to enter your profile
- You must see the visitors added on the menu.
Method #2: Viewing the page source of your FB profile
This way is the easiest that not all users are aware of. you will find the ID of Facebook visitors through a browser (if there is any).
- Using “initialchatfriendslist”
You can use the source of your page with different codes to see visitors; the first one is to use “Initialchatfriendslist.” Go over the steps below:
- Login to your FB account
- Go to your profile (by clicking your profile picture)
- Then right-click and find the view source (you can access this section by developer tools on mac too).
- Press CTRL+Fto open the search bar.
- Find the “initialchatfriendslist”
Now, it redirects you to a Section of the page source that you can see lots of numbers between “initialchatfriendslist “. These are the IDs of the people who viewed your profile the most.
Tip: Google chrome is most handy for this method
- Using “Visitors”
Another way is to see the ID number of visitors by finding the word match “initialchatfriendslist.” and see the list of ID but it might be challenging to know which ID belongs to which visitors.
Method # 3: Facebook profile viewer app (not recommended)
There are many tools available on the internet, but I am not sure if I can provide you the service you need. Viewing Facebook profile is not as easy as they promise in their advertising. So, it is better not to look for this way, better you use the two methods that I mentioned above.
Sum up
I hope you can finally get some clue about how to see Facebook profile viewers or visitors. Comment below and share your experience with me.
best chrome extensions for facebook
If you access Facebook from a computer rather than your mobile device, then it’s easy to make the desktop Facebook experience better using extensions.
Browsers like Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox offer many extensions that can change how you interact with Facebook, whether it’s by adding features or removing unwanted elements.
Keep reading to learn about the best Facebook extensions that you can install today…
- Social Fixer
social fixer browser extension
Available on: Chrome, User Script
Of all the Facebook extensions, Social Fixer is the most popular and most comprehensive solution. It offers an exhaustive list of features that help make Facebook a more enjoyable experience.
Some of the extension’s top tools include ways to turn off sponsored posts or force your news feed to show the newest posts first. It also has a news feed filter and a friend manager that will let you know when someone unfriends you.
You can even use Social Fixer to roll back the 2020 Facebook redesign so that the site displays the old layout instead.
Download: Social Fixer (Free)
- F.B. Purity
Available on: Firefox, Chrome, Edge, Safari, Opera
Like Social Fixer, F.B. Purity is an all-in-one tool that can overhaul many aspects of the native Facebook home page when viewed in a browser.
Some of the best features include hiding ads, hiding related posts, hiding upcoming events, and hiding recommended games. You can also revert to the old Facebook layout and turn off auto-playing videos.
Download: F.B. Purity (Free)
- Facebook Demetricator
Available on: Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Edge, Opera
Research suggests that Facebook is making us sad, and a part of the reason is that we tend to quantify our self-worth with the number of likes or shares our posts get.
Facebook Demetricator is a Facebook add-on that hides these numbers from your Facebook home page. For example, instead of seeing a fixed number, such as “15 people like this,” you’ll just see a “People like this” message.
Download: Facebook Demetricator (Free)
- Privacy Badger
privacy badger facebook browser extension
Available on: Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Opera
It’s no secret that Facebook stores a massive amount of data about its users (and, perhaps more worryingly, its non-users). In fact, there are lots of ways Facebook invades your privacy, and many people are becoming increasingly uncomfortable with the level of intrusion.
If you want a way to stop Facebook from doing all that tracking, check out Privacy Badger. It’s an official extension from the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) that will prevent third-party advertisers from collecting information as you browse the web—Facebook included.
Download: Privacy Badger (Free)
- Seen Blocker for Facebook
seen blocker ad
Available on: Firefox
We’re all familiar with the concept—when you read a message that someone has sent you on Facebook, the sender will know you have opened and read it thanks to a notification icon in their own chat window.
To prevent that from happening, check out Seen Blocker. It will let you read Facebook messages without activating the “message read” notification for the other person.
Sadly, this Facebook extension is only available on Firefox.
Download: Seen Blocker for Facebook (Free)
- Photo Zoom for Facebook
photo zoom example
Available on: Chrome, Firefox, Safari
Whenever you scroll through a Facebook feed, you’ll be acutely aware that all the photos are shrunk down on-screen. This is not unique to Facebook; all social networks deploy the approach, partly to help save data and partly because of the practicalities of using a computer screen.
However, if you want to see a photo in its full-size glory on Facebook, you need to physically click on it. If you enjoy studying a lot of friends’ pictures, that quickly becomes tedious.
Photo Zoom for Facebook removes the need to click. Once you have installed the extension, merely hovering over a photo on your news feed will show its full size.

- Friends Feed
friends feed settings
Available on: Chrome, Safari
If you’re old enough to remember the first few years of Facebook, you will know that the news feed used to be a much more fun place to hang out. Unfortunately, that’s no longer the case.
You feed gets clogged up with posts that you have no interest in—either because other friends liked it or because a company has paid to get its content in front of your eyes.
The Friends Feed extension gets rid of these posts. The only updates you’ll see will either originate from your friends or from pages and people you actively follow.
Download: Friends Feed (Free)
- Friend Convert
friend convert facebook browser extension
Available on: Chrome
If you are the manager of a large Facebook group, you might want to check out the Friend Convert Facebook Chrome extension. It lets you add friends to a group en mass, but also allows you to bulk-remove people from a group.
This is especially useful if the group operates on the premise of a membership, wherein the list of people with an active membership is continuously in a state of flux.
Download: Friend Convert (Free)
- Multiple Tools for Facebook
Available on: Chrome
Managing your Facebook profile, page, or group can be a labor-intensive task. Indeed, most businesses now have to employ an entire social media team just to keep on top of the never-ending slew of messages and contact requests.
Multiple Tools is a Facebook extension that specializes in automation. It has a dashboard that will display all your analytics, as well as ways to automate privacy settings for posts, message downloading, and incoming and outgoing friend and group requests.
You can also use the extension to block seen messages, block the message delivery mark, and even find out which groups your friends have joined.
NB: Remember, it is possible to use Messenger without Facebook if you don’t want a full account.
Download: Multiple Tools for Facebook (Free)
- Image Cleaner
Available on: Chrome
Facebook doesn’t really want you to delete your photos. Consequently, there is no way to delete your old images in bulk.
Sure, you can delete pictures on an individual basis, and that’s fine for getting rid of an embarrassing snap from a night out. However, if you want to go on a photo purge, Facebook makes it near-impossible without entirely deleting your account.
Image Cleaner solves the problem. You can delete photos, albums, and videos with a single click (no confirmation screen). It also adds a checkbox to media items so you can select and delete multiple files at the same time.
Download: Image Cleaner (Free)
Should Facebook Natively Include These Features?
It’s somewhat sad that we have to turn to third-party Facebook extensions to access some of this functionality. If anything, their absence is an indictment of Facebook’s true guiding principles. As has been the case for several years, it is a case of profit over user experience.
Hopefully, Facebook changes its stance and makes the site more user-friendly, but we don’t have high hopes. For now, these extensions will have to suffice.
