On the latest chrome stable.

I've gotten multiple errors trying to do this.

Error: TypeError: Cannot call method 'track' of undefined Error: Error: INVALID_STATE_ERR Error: You must set a username before you can chat

When I first login, it says I'm in a chatroom of 1 for quite a bit, then connects me invisibly, without letting me set my username.

Would this fail with https?

On a side note, somebody that creates an aggregator for these sort of add ons, (including chats, but also the various "comment on a website" things I remember from a few years ago) might do alright.

When I finally do get in the chat, after trying to set a username, I get a random one. I'm user37695. And there is no way to change that.

Edit: okay there is a way, clicking on your username. But it's invisible.

Thoughts: Needs to let me know I'm connecting, and if possible, indicate state. IRC tells me when I'm connecting, when it's checking identd etc. Even a little progress bar would be fine.

Username selection seems to fail for me. I'd suggest a prompt, after connecting, for the username.

edit: indicating that clicking the username allows you to change it, or a menu button, would be helpful.

There is no way to close the window without losing the page.



Have you tried clicking on your (default) username to change it? That worked for me.
