Telegram: show message ids

Attaches a small label with the internal message id to each bubble, handy for debugging.

Code to copy

// Show the internal message id as a small label on each bubble
function tagIds() {
  const bubbles = document.querySelectorAll('.bubbles .bubble[data-mid], .Message[id]');
  bubbles.forEach(function (b) {
    if (b.dataset.jzId) { return; }
    b.dataset.jzId = '1';
    const id = b.getAttribute('data-mid') || b.id || '?';
    const tag = document.createElement('span');
    tag.textContent = '#' + id;
    tag.style.cssText = 'font-size:10px;opacity:0.6;margin-left:6px;font-family:monospace';
    b.appendChild(tag);
  });
}
tagIds();
const obs = new MutationObserver(tagIds);
obs.observe(document.documentElement, { childList: true, subtree: true });
