Save Telegram Chat History

Why this extension?

Perhaps, many of us like Telegram messenger and use it for conversations with friends. However, we were a bit disappointed by the absence of any sort of easy-accessible "Save Conversation" feature in the messenger. Therefore, we've written a Chrome extension for it!
