It seems Facebook is forcing users to install Facebook Messenger in order to view their messages. Is there a way around this or an alternative? I really hate how with the app messages popup in front of the screen and you have to drag them to the trash can.

You can disable the message overlay for Facebook Messenger quite easily. Hit the Settings (cog) button in the top right of the app, then Chat heads
, and turn it off.
A good alternative Facebook messenger app I heard about is Fast Facebook.
If you don't like Fast Facebook you could try Friend Caster.
