Ultimately we should be updating quickopen to run on python3, this is just a workaround to support providing and using python2.

I don't believe there is a [chrome extension API](https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/api_index) for [making the raw TCP connections](https://developer.chrome.com/apps/sockets_tcp) necessary for connecting to an IRC server, but please correct me if I am mistaken....

CIRC will not be able to exist as a Chrome App for much longer: https://blog.chromium.org/2020/01/moving-forward-from-chrome-apps.html I have started a rewrite to a progressive web app in a branch, and I'll...

Can you provide more details? What command did you try? What was the error? If you open chrome://inspect in chrome and inspect CIRC under applications are there any errors in...

Yes, it's coming along slowly but if you want to see it there's a new version in development on the "server" branch. It currently requires running a nodejs server but...
