I think we should provide ircs and web links, in some browsers the ircs links still work if you have an application supporting the links and account well configured --katnatek (talk) 01:17, 13 May 2026 (UTC)
To work in firefox the links should have ircs:irc.libera.chat:6697/#mageia-<channel>
So in resume chromium like browsers (falkon and others) works with ircs://irc.libera.chat:6697/#mageia-<channel>
moonchild browsers palemoon/newmoon (pending to test) and basilisk/serpent (tested) should work with ircs://irc.libera.chat:6697/#mageia-<channel> after copy some js file to defaults/pref in installation path or set some protocol-handler strings in their about:config
firefox just work if the url is ircs:irc.libera.chat:6697/#mageia-<channel> (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Navigator/registerProtocolHandler) and copy a js file to right folder in installation path (under browser/defaults) or set some protocol-handler strings in his about:config --katnatek (talk) 04:09, 13 May 2026 (UTC)
I note some unexpected side effect in use ircs:irc.libera.chat:6697/#mageia-<channel> in the url bar, instead open mageia-<channel>, irc.libera.chat:6697/#mageia-<channel> is used as channel name this will open empty channel --katnatek (talk) 04:09, 14 May 2026 (UTC)
As workaround can use ircs:#mageia-<channel> cam be used, but this will have unexpected effect if you have accounts in more irc servers.
I need to test all in more irc clients --katnatek (talk) 04:15, 14 May 2026 (UTC)
