Yahoo! Chat Clients

What are Yahoo! Chat Clients?

Yahoo! Chat Clients are the programs used to interact with Yahoo! Chat. The Official clients is Yahoo! Messenger, however, this is more vulnerable to attacks, and contains less features, customisations and control; for this reason people may choose to use third party chat clients.
This webpage has been designed in order to give you an overview of the available Yahoo! Chat Clients. It is not a full description of each client, but the important facts are covered. For more information view their websites. I try to give an unbiased review, and leave it for you to choose, I don't selectively choose clients based on whether I like their authors.

Comparison

The table below lists which clients support some of the more important features. Most clients support a basic set of features, which I need not list. Unique features may appear in the descriptions, below. Click a client name to read more, or scroll down to go through each one! Click a heading for more information on what it means.
