I do this too.

Of course, the companies fight back, e.g. Facebook messaging isn't (last I checked) available through the Facebook-in-the-browser; it requires the Messenger app.

https://mbasic.facebook.com - at least for now a cut down version that still allows messenger designed for those with low bandwidth.

I would be curious to hear your experience - it's been functional for me for quite some time, but just recently it's had a banner declaring that it was going away....

It also provides easy access to the "poke" functionality.
This is correct for messenger.com itself, but you can access Messenger through Facebook.com - it's just another tab on the website. If you don't want to visit Facebook.com, though, then yes you're out of luck.
