I use chatzilla, the firefox plug-in and it works great

As simple as the original irc stuff back in the 80's

anyone else tried that?

I have no idea what has changed in the last few years since i havent used irc in a long time....so something this simple is perfect for me

[Urmel]

Great! Gonna make a try

Chatzilla is great because it is totally free and i can use it on the PC's, macs AND linux computers I use. The one-click install was great for me who never used IRC before.

Chatzilla is also included in the Mozilla Suite, or as it got dropped in favor of Firefox, the Suite is now developed under the name Seamonkey.

The only problem I have with Seamonkey is that it's too much stuff. It's very similar to the netscape browser where everything is in one package, from mail to calander (not to forget the browser).
The reason I like everything separate is that I can load only the things I wanna use at the moment rather then the whole shabang, making it much quicker.

Back to the topic, ChatZilla really works fine unless you're one of those people that need a lot more options only commercial software can offer.

ok so mIRC sucks, thats why its one of the most popular IRC clients out there. You guys should stop talking like you know everything, mIRC is the best client out there, mainly because its so _EASY_ to make themes and scripts for it, ppl who are lazy can use the nnscript
