CIRC

An IRC client for Chrome

CIRC - Powerful IRC Client for Chrome

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.

Was a wonderful app and worked quite well...then Google decided to make it ChromeOS only and ruined any chance of my using it again...

I would really like to have the ability to save my undernet login and have it log me into the undernet upon connect. Still CIRC is a great app that does exactly what we all wanted for our Chromebooks.
