About Kiwi IRC

Kiwi IRC is a responsive web-based IRC client that runs in any major browser on desktop, phone or tablet. It offers themes, user scripts, plugins, multiple languages and SSL connections, and network operators can control which servers users connect to. Website owners can also embed its widget for instant free live chat, making it useful for communities that still run on IRC networks.
