## Description

OpenFront Chat (Community) adds a small, native-feeling text-chat panel to <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/0c6edfe350b1f194797aef6c89e09f58c5ee2bfb4493eeac15183360fbed8839/http%3A//openfront.io" rel="nofollow">openfront.io</a> so players can actually talk to each other while they play. The game's built-in emoji and quick-chat are handy but limited — this extension gives you full sentences. 
Where the chat appears: 
<ul><li>Lobby / main page: a Global Chat that any extension user can join. Great for saying hi, organising a match, or asking who wants to team up. - Team matches: a private Team Chat, scoped to your team only — teammates see your messages, opponents do not. </li><li>FFA and other multiplayer modes: a per-match Game Chat where everyone in that specific game can talk. </li><li>Single-player: the chat is detected and stays disabled. Nothing runs in the background for solo games. How it works: </li><li>Your nickname and team are read from your existing OpenFront settings (localStorage). There is no account, no signup, and no separate profile to maintain. </li><li>The chat panel sits in the corner and can be minimised. Press V to focus the input; Escape to blur; Enter to send. </li><li>Messages travel over a secure WebSocket (wss://) to a small relay server operated by the author. The relay does not persist chat history — messages exist only in the memory of connected clients and disappear the moment the socket closes. </li><li>No analytics, no advertising, no tracking. </li></ul>
