Telegram Chrome Extension

About

Detailed description
Telegram, right in your browser's side panel

An unofficial Telegram client that lives in the Chrome side panel. Open your conversations with a single click on the extension icon and keep working on your current tab — no more switching between windows and apps.

Built on Manifest V3, the extension connects to Telegram directly over a secure connection. Your session is stored locally and encrypted — your data never goes to any third-party server.

Security and privacy

Your session is encrypted (AES-GCM) and stored only in the browser's local storage.
The extension talks directly to Telegram's servers — there are no intermediate servers.
No telemetry, no ads, no selling of your data.
What you need to get started

The extension connects using your own Telegram API credentials (api_id and api_hash), which are issued for free at https://my.telegram.org/apps. This is the standard way third-party Telegram clients authenticate.

This is an unofficial app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or supported by Telegram FZ-LLC. Telegram and the Telegram logo are trademarks of Telegram FZ-LLC.
