    How it works                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      When you sign in with Steam on rustboom.gg, Facepunch's companion API issues a redirect using the rust-plus:// custom scheme. Browsers can't open that scheme, so the login would normally fail. This extension intercepts that redirect, extracts your login token, and delivers it back to rustboom.gg — completing sign-in without any extra steps from you.
