  (Buy my gf a coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theahura -- I don't drink the stuff but she loves it)
  
  UPDATE: due to changes in Facebook's UI, this tool will delete both your and the recipient's messages. It will still unsend your messages, but you will no longer have access to the other messages in the chat either.
  
  If you're like me, you've been on FB Messenger for over a decade. And if you're like me, you care about privacy. I wrote this extension to clean up my digital footprint. Unlike other extensions, which only hide the messages from the user's inbox, Shoot the Messenger will remove messages from the RECEIVER'S inbox as well.
  
  It's simple: you open a messenger thread on a desktop, press 'remove messages', and go get a coffee. While you're gone, the extension will go through your messenger thread and automatically unsend every message. Unsending a message means that anyone in the thread will see 'X has unsent a message' instead of the original text of the message.
  
  Technical details: this extension doesn't send any information to any servers, or try to reverse-engineer Facebook's messenger API. Instead, it simply simulates mouse clicks on the UI as if a user was pressing buttons. 
  
  The code can be found here: https://github.com/theahura/shoot-the-messenger/
  
  (Google's overzealous extension security flagger requires me to tell you that there is a "rate limit pause delay setting" in this extension. Consider yourself protected!)
