Facebook notifications only on facebook? - Erick - 02-26-2014 09:21 PM

Is there a way where I can change my settings so that i DO NOT get emails from facebook, but I still get notifications on facebook?

That would certainly be ideal, but I don’t know a good way of implementing it. It would seem that the chrome extension framework does not respect asynchronous AJAX requests, and so there is no way to fetch the data after the popup is loaded. If you could point me to an extension that successfully implements this behavior I’d be more than happy to figure out how it does it and integrate that functionality. And as OwenCM mentioned, because facebook provides no mechanism for viewing notifications without marking them as read you really can’t precache them.
I considered that, but I made a design choice against it so that the behavior of the extension would more closely mimic that of the notifications button in the lower-right-hand corner of the Facebook page. That would be a good thing to put on a preferences page though, which I’ll try to add in the next version.
