Is it possible to use IRC without downloading an IRC client? reddit / irc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ircquestion · 2011-02-23 22:02 I don't want to download an IRC client or a browser extention for IRC at work. Are there any other ways to use it? Perhaps using a Java applet somewhere? Please advice. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2011-02-23 22:06 Freenode has it's own web based client. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CapnGoat · 2011-02-23 22:15 exactly. http://webchat.freenode.net/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- HelloJapan · 2011-02-23 22:15 Like this? http://mibbit.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2011-02-23 22:18 You can use Telnet if you're willing to put up with sending manual ping replies every few minutes! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2011-02-23 22:34 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- FenderQ · 2011-02-23 23:36 You can also use it secure https://webchat.freenode.net/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- aperson · 2011-02-23 23:59 Doesn't work on freenode, unless you're using an irc bouncer. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- rChan · 2011-02-24 00:08 You made a reddit account just for this? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- the_classy_corsair · 2011-02-24 00:15 http://webchat.freenode.net/ for freenode ---------------------------------------------------------------------- metabrew · 2011-02-24 00:59 https://irccloud.com/ <-- something I'm working on Say you're from reddit when you request an invite and i'll invite you :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sje46 · 2011-02-24 06:08 What is that, like a shell server kinda thing? That's actually a pretty good idea. I use blinkenshell, so I'll probably won't use it, but still. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sje46 · 2011-02-24 06:08 Or a ssh connection to your home computer, running irssi. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- HungryHungryHobos · 2011-02-24 06:53 Opera browser has a IRC functionality built in. You just set up your account info and open the room in a tab. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- metabrew · 2011-02-24 10:40 Yeah, it's like a bnc/bouncer that's always connected, except it has a web interface instead of connecting to it with a normal IRC client. Uses websockets and html5 stuff, so the web interface is modern/nice. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- knutskull · 2011-02-24 14:08 IRCCloud is a **subscription** service ಠ\_ಠ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- pkmx · 2011-02-24 15:18 Is it possible to browse the internet without downloading a internet browser? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Misio · 2011-02-24 15:21 Yes. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- pkmx · 2011-02-24 15:24 almost just like whats posted to the right.. --> >Use [freenode's webchat](http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=%23reddit) (Mibbit will not work). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- resuni · 2011-03-10 00:37 Last I checked mibbit.com could connect to any IRC network. The network you're trying to connect to may also have tools on their site depending on the network. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- itsjareds · 2011-03-17 00:39 Wow, that looks really neat. I signed up for the beta. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2011-03-21 04:53 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- t3h2mas · 2011-04-20 01:28 I prefer grabbing a shell account -> hopefully irssi or weechat are installed, if not you need dat shit -> connect to shell from any computer -> IRC your brains out -> sleep && repeat ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Nominate10 · 2011-05-23 06:02 Yes. Most OSs come with a browser (WINDOWS>IE) that you didn't download yourself.
