Hi, In Safari, although I don't use FaceBook chat on the web, VO announces their status. So, if they're not on-line, it may say "John Smith, 2 hours" which I assume means that they haven't connected on FaceBook for that amount of time. It may also announce "Fred Flintstone, Mobile", or "Web-George Jetson" which I take to mean that they are on-line, available and using the device noted.
I prefer though the status lists in Messages which will tell you if your buddy is on-line or not. Later...

The only thing I can see on facebook in Safari is the indication of how many people are on chat but I can't tell who is or is not available on chat. Thanks for any tips.
