When Facebook introduced the so called awesome video calling feature, it also brought the new chat sidebar which shows all your Facebook contacts rather than showing only those who are online. It’s really annoying! Yes, there was a Facebook Fan Page that has received more than 25,000 likes showing I hate the new Facebook sidebar chat messages.

First Method: Go to http://www.facebook.com/presence/popout.php and start chatting there. But of course this method has its own disadvantages. You need to open this window separately and should be away from your original Facebook window. So move on to the second method if its not comfortable for you.
Second Method:
