“ChatZilla is a neat, exciting, TCP/IP visual IRC (Internet
Relay Chat) client built on top of Mozilla. It now comes with the
Mozilla browser suite, which also includes the browser (Navigator),
composer (Editor), and E-Mail/News clients.”

“Perhaps the first thing that comes to mind when one hears or
reads the word Internet is the World Wide Web and Web surfing or
perhaps E-Mail. However, using the Internet to communicate in real
time is a major use of the Internet today. Real-time Internet
communicating includes stuff such as AIM (America Online Instant
Messenger), chat rooms, computer telephony, ICQ (pronounced ‘I Seek
You’), and IRC.”

“The ChatZilla IRC client now is included with Mozilla.
So if you have the latest Mozilla installed on your computer,
chatting on the Internet with ChatZilla takes only a few mouse
clicks. That makes using ChatZilla for Internet chatting as
easy as using AIM or ICQ.”
