Editing ChatZilla (section)

==Reception==
Reviews of ChatZilla have varied from enthusiastic, in the case of users familiar with IRC, to  unimpressed, for reviewers more accustomed to other chat client user interfaces.  A 2003 review in ''Computers for Doctors'' of Mozilla 1.0, referred to IRC client applications as "not very user-friendly, and the same goes for ChatZilla. You won't find any pop-up icons, or happy little noises telling you somebody wants to chat."<ref>{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Sq6nEWezMeMC&pg=PA164 |title=Computers for Doctors |editor=Thacker, Naveen |publisher=Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers |year=2003 |location=India |isbn=978-81-8061-176-6 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161221034249/https://books.google.com/books?id=Sq6nEWezMeMC&pg=PA164#v=onepage&f=false |archive-date=2016-12-21 }}</ref>
In 2004, Jennifer Golbeck, writing in ''IRC Hacks'', pointed out its cross-platform consistency, and found it "quick and easy to start using",<ref name="Golbeck16"/> and has "great support for changing the appearance of chat windows with motifs...([[Cascading Style Sheets|CSS files]])."<ref name="Golbeck19"/>

In a 2008 overview of extensions for Firefox in ''Linux Journal'', Dan Sawyer described ChatZilla as an "oldie-but-goodie", "venerable", "with all the trimmings", "handsomely organizes chat channels, logs, has an extensive built-in list of available channels, supports DCC chats and file transfers, and has its own plugin and theming architecture." The application "implements all the standards very well, and for those who prefer to keep desktop clutter to a minimum but still enjoy fighting with random strangers on IRC, ChatZilla is a must-have."<ref>{{cite journal|title=Must-Have Firefox Extensions |issue=170|date=May 1, 2008 |first=Dan|last=Sawyer |journal=Linux Journal: The Monthly Magazine of the Linux Community|publisher=LinuxJournal.com |url=http://www.linuxjournal.com/magazine/must-have-firefox-extensions?page=0,1 |issn=1075-3583 }}</ref>
