User reviews
Nice and clean WS client extension. I really like it.
But for 5 stars I would like to see a lfew more features like being able to extend/drag the 'message text' field (it is pretty small) and some 'clear history' would be nice.

Unable to open connection: SecurityError: Failed to construct 'WebSocket': The port 6667 is not allowed.
