Extension summary

Thanks to the WebRTC technology, when you use it to chat with someone else, your messages aren’t sent to a centralized server but rather sent directly to the recipients, or at worst sent (but first encrypted) via a TURN server. It's like P2P, but only with instant messages.

The channel-system is managed to connect you with other viewers of the active webpage in your browser.
