I can't even use the IRC. Go figure.

I'd use IRC, but... I just don't really like how outdated its interface is. Most people don't really care about that, but me, though, I do. :P

Good thing you have a lot of clients to choose from, of both web-based and full-fat variety. Pick one that works for you the most.

As old as IRC is, I wouldn't really call it outdated. Just look at places like EFNet and Freenode that are still running to this day with lots of activity. Sure, the activity isn't anywhere near as high as it once was, but it's still up there for sure.

I'm a total IRC junkie. I've been using it on and off for almost fourteen years XD Life without IRC is not a life I want to live!

Chatzilla is a wonderful client and I recommend you all to use that one! mIRC is okay, but it's gonna annoy the hell out of you with its 30 DAY TRIAL HAS ENDED - PAY US NAO.

 

[Legendary Silke]

I'm more impartial to HexChat myself. Funny how something that started to work with *nix and X Window System has a "fork" that's best on Windows Vista and newer at this point.

 

[Tsutarja]

One IRC client I kinda don't like, but I don't hate is Chatzilla, and that's just because of the way copying/pasting works :p but other than that, I like Chatzilla for having its own emoticons and emoji support as well

I know it's shareware, but I am definitely a fan of mIRC. Probably because I've used it for so long and owned it for half that time XD I use Xchat2 on Linux and that works wonderfully for my c2d2 bot.

 

[Tsutarja]

I use mIRC as well, primarily because it was my first IRC client, and because I use certain scripts and triggers with it.

I really haven't tried any IRC clients before; never felt the need to. d: Do they have any advantages?

Yeah, you could actually use IRC ;) I'd love to see you around #tc!

 

[Tsutarja]

I will definitely say that using an IRC client is better than using a web-based IRC client. Simply because of how more dedicated it is, and because you can customize more settings as well.

 

[Legendary Silke]

That, and even if your web browser should somehow gets itself in massive trouble, your IRC client is a separate thing. :)

 

[Cordelia]

I think most people with half a brain on the Internet these days keep their web browser out of trouble :P

I had a friend that had so many rogue Chrome extensions that YouTube didn't look normal at all. So. Many. Ads. And he was wondering why it was so slow.

He obviously was not using enough of his brain then.

 

[Legendary Silke]

I'm more concerned that untrusted Google Chrome extensions can automatically update themselves' and you end up getting extensions that go rogue out of nowhere.

 

[Cordelia]

I only use extensions from the Chrome store myself, so I don't worry about it.

I've only ever used extensions from the Chrome store. If I don't recognize it, I delete it.

Won't help when an extension author accidentally sells their extensions to advertisers and/or malware author.

 

[Legendary Silke]

Makes me wonder whether autoupdate is a blessing or a curse.

 

[Tsutarja]

I only get my Chrome extensions from the store as well, and nowhere else, unless they are a verified app. So far I've seen nothing wrong with my Chrome, except for their Flash player taking up a lot of CPU on my computer.
