CIRC

An IRC client for Chrome

What is CIRC?
CIRC is an advanced IRC client designed as a Chrome extension. It leverages chrome APIs to offer unique features not found in standard web IRC clients. These include direct connections to any IRC server without the need for a proxy server, nick and channel memory across devices, and enabling the usage of the same IRC connection on multiple devices. The client also supports scripting that syncs across devices and SSL server support. CIRC also includes features like desktop notifications to enhance user experience.
