Web clients that remember your username+password that aren't banned
from Freenode?
reddit / irc

I'd love something like Mibbit, but sadly, Freenode has banned it and
many other incredibly convenient clients.

Maybe IRCCloud? freenode has most likely blocked them (othe sites) to
prevent abuse, [like they did with
Mibbit](http://blog.freenode.net/2009/06/new-freenode-webchat-and-why-
to-use-it/).

You could always ask in #freenode too, to see if any one else knows.

The official freenode one is http://webchat.freenode.net/, as far as I
can tell though, you can set some options with URL parameters (e.g. [`
?nick=foo&channels=#test`](http://webchat.freenode.net/?nick=foo&chann
els=#test), but not pre-fill the username/password authentication.

Any particular reason you're looking for a web-client? Would a
[portable](http://portableapps.com/) version of something like HexChat
on a USB stick do the job instead?

Chatzilla?

It hasn't been.

I meant other sites might have been blocked. I've edited the original
reply in case someone thought I meant IRCCloud was blocked.

I'd recommend [Subway](https://github.com/thedjpetersen/subway) if you
can set up an instance. They have a test instance in the notes (Which
doesn't have the backend db to remember the info IIRC).
[KiwiIRC](https://kiwiirc.com/client) hasn't been banned I believe but
you can't save username/password info.

what about wsirc?

Hexchat.

Portal USB apps are cool, but no, I'm looking for a Web App.

Maybe a little late but https://kiwiirc.com/client is trusted by
freenode and many others and also remembers your nick. Sounds like it
should meet your needs.

Also under a lot of development so send your feature requests into
irc.freenode.net #kiwiirc ;)

A new-ish function of kiwiirc.com is to remember the last used nick
now.

I'd think Mibbit -> Bouncer would be the way to go, or a self-hosted
web client of some description (behind a password protection)
