You can use ChatZilla for Firefox - this is an extension for Firefox web
browser that gives user the ability to go to IRC servers. It's pretty
secure (if you don't accept downloads from foreigners, that is), it's
pretty simple to install and run quite well. Of course, it isn't 100%
safe, just as any other application. But, don't accept downloads from
unknown sources and you should be safe.
