Can you find me a web-based IRC client which runs in <100MB of memory?

interesting, so I checked out mirc and reported it's windows-only(hope to save someone sometime), and since I used irc over browser so I added some info for that. Still, obviously someone disliked this sort of comments and downvoted, I'm always surprised by downvotes like this sort, any bystander can shed some lights? Am I supposed to always write a cheerful comment for basic neutral truths?
