-===== Windows =====
-  *  mIRC (http://www.mirc.com/get.html) - The most popular IRC client (free but you get messages on startup asking you to pay)
-===== Linux =====
-  *  XChat (http://www.xchat.org/download/) - Windows version isn't free but a nice GUI linux chat client.
-  *  irssi (http://irssi.org/download) - Console based IRC client, clean and highly configurable.
-  *  weechat
-===== Web-based =====
-  *  KiwiIRC (https://kiwiirc.com/) - Pleasant browser-based chat client; however most native clients are more reliable and should be used when possible.
-  *  mibbit (http://www.mibbit.com/chat/) - Another browser-based chat client.
