Beware of tricks to find a list of who viewed your Facebook account
Many apps, extensions, and websites advertise that they have the ability to show you a list of Facebook friends who visit your wall.
The above software is cheating you
You won’t get anything by installing them. If you’re lucky, they won’t do any harm, but if you’re worse, you’ve downloaded malware onto your device. They’ll steal your information, mine Bitcoin in the background, and do a whole lot more. Consider this example:

At first glance, this Chrome extension has over 3,000 reviews and almost 4 stars. But when you open the comments section, you will see the truth:

All the comments say that this extension is completely useless. So you should not install extensions or related software just to know who has been looking at your Facebook wall.
There is no reliable way to get information from Facebook unless they want it to be public, like LinkedIn. LinkedIn lets you see who has looked at your profile.
Furthermore, these extensions will request access to information from your computer which if you do not read carefully and install, the risk of privacy is very high.
I accidentally installed one of them
In case you have installed any related extensions or software, please uninstall them immediately.
Next, to be sure, change your Facebook password and create 2-layer security (if you haven't done so yet).
Beware, there are websites that require you to install their web browser and log in your Facebook account on it… to see who viewed your Facebook. Don’t do it because those browsers are not secure and you can easily lose your account.
Method of checking code on Facebook page
There is a method that is circulating on social networks is to open the source code of the Facebook page and look for the code "InitialChatFriendsList". Obviously the long numbers are the identifiers of other Facebook accounts, and people believe that these are the accounts that have viewed your Facebook.

However, this is not correct because the above accounts are the list of accounts displayed in the Chat section.

Readers should be careful with the above tricks to ensure the privacy of their information and personal information.
