Both modules, the (current) Chat Box and (my new and improved) Chat Room, are only web applications. They do not interface with another chat server. (I would kinda like to experiment with handling integration between my Chat Room and an XMPP conference server, but that's outside the scope of the work for now.)

So, sadly, you cannot use a dedicated chat client to chat in either chat room.

Also, cookies are such a basic concept on the Internet that I'm quite shocked to hear of a modern browser freezing when it encounters one. My site only uses one cookie for logging in, and it only contains a handful of bytes of information.

You may consider complaining to the tech support of whoever sold you the browser.
