About

Tired of the default Facebook Messenger notification sound, wanting to close out of a chat you're not currently reading, or hoping to see your unread count at a quick glance? Messenger Web App Upgrades adds some new usability features to help:
- Set a custom notification sound for new messages
- Press the Escape key to close out of the current chat
- Display unread badges (only if the site is installed as a PWA)

Install and launch the extension, configure settings as desired, then refresh Messenger for the changes to take effect.
