circ on opera 27

[r004]

I was wondering if it is possible to have your creation on opera 27 stable (linux-65bit). currently in opera with the use of CRX extension this error happens. "“Extension Install Failure: Package is invalid. Details: 'Extension type is not supported.' it would be great to have it on opera. because opera 27 doesn't come with integrated irc client and we need one of those on opera.

The problem is chrome has a seperate set of app apis, like sockets, that are supported as apps and not as extensions.

For security reasons importing these apis into opera would probably be a terrible idea unless they can create a specific app system similar to chrome.

For that reason making an IRC extension without an external server would probably be impossible.

I suggest installing a standalone IRC client, like chatzilla, or download seamonkey if you need a browser with an integrated IRC client.

Otherwise you could also consider using thunderbird, which has email and instant messaging capabilities.

edit:

If you're looking for some good web based options, http://irc.lc, http://www.kiwiirc.com, and http://www.mibbit.com are all good options.

Irc.lc will probably require you type out the channel server and name in the url. It's like an IRC url shortner that redirects you to an IRC client that depends on the server.

KiwiIRC is opensource, and mibbit might be more user friendly.
