I kinda block my facebook newsfeed via CSS, but just to be able to access chat without having to read the feed if I don't want to (remaining just one click away from toggling it back on). (you can also do that my typing an invalid url and setting it as your facebook bookmark, e.g. https://www.facebook.com/asdfgwhatever )

News Feed Eradicator is really good for this. You can also use messenger.com to access chat without any other notifications - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/news-feed-eradicat...

oh thanks, the web version looks good. I just tried the windows metro app and it failed to notify on new messages all the time...

Facebook runs the Web version of messenger on messenger.com

This is just the chat function - no need to edit CSS or anything.

Seconding that; this is what I keep open instead of Facebook for most of the time. For those who didn't click yet, it's an official Facebook Messenger, in-browser version. Only chat, without the rest of the Facebook.
