Is it possible to send messages on facebook without installing messenger app

[AC Question]

Alternetively is it posssible to get rid of the annoying messenger icon that appears on the right hand side of the screen.
On facebook when tapping the message icon. It opens a page asking me to install messenger. However I find messenger app to be a real pain as an icon appears on the right hand side of the screen and gets in the way when doing other stuff like I can't use the letter L when typing a text.

Welcome to Android Central! It's possible using the mobile Facebook website, but it's a bit of a pain. When you have the Facebook site on your browser, you have to tap Menu>Request Desktop Site first, then go to the Facebook Chat/Messenger section. If you stay on the mobile site, it'll keep on redirecting you to the Play Store to try to force you to install Messenger.
