CIRC

An IRC client in the shape of a packaged Chrome app

CIRC uses the chrome.sockets APIs to connect directly to IRC servers without needing a proxy. It has a ton of other killer features as well such as syncing your IRC state accross all your devices and allowing you to use a single IRC connection on multiple devices simultaneously.

Get it on the Chrome Web Store
