Description

Meta seems to have rolled out a new Messenger website design with a left sidebar. This might cause some issues in the near future (if it affects css classes). We should keep an eye out for it.

I'll monitor what is going on and try to fix the issues when they arise. Screenshot from 2022-09-07 12-10-00 Screenshot from 2022-09-07 12-12-36

Research direction
Investigate the new Messenger design's CSS changes by comparing with Caprine's current CSS classes. Check the Facebook Messenger web app for updated selectors and identify any breaking changes. Look for relevant commits or discussions in the Caprine repository about handling upstream UI updates. Since the issue is stale, verify if the design changes have already been addressed or if they remain unaddressed.
