## Description

Messenger for Telegram™ is a Chrome extension that provides seamless access to Telegram's official web client. It opens Telegram in a dedicated sandboxed window or browser tab, activating an existing window if already open to avoid duplicates. The extension keeps you informed with a dynamic badge showing the count of unread conversations, excluding muted chats, and updates automatically as messages are read.

Designed with privacy in mind, Messenger for Telegram™ does not transmit any user data externally. Users authenticate by logging into their Telegram account via the extension, syncing their messages securely. This tool streamlines your messaging experience by keeping Telegram accessible and notifying you promptly, all within the convenience of your browser.
