Instantbird still seems to be under very active development. See the comm-central repository, which is Instantbird. Tor Messenger does not seem to be using libpurple, at least judging by the comments here: https://lwn.net/Articles/662471/#Comments https://lwn.net/Articles/662471/#Comments. And I tried it with Google Talk and it works. Wikipedia says that Google Talk as a client was deprecated but you can still use it with third-party clients like Pidgin, Tor Messenger, etc.

That's surprising. Thanks for the link. So, they rewrote all of libpurple's chat handling in Javascript? You can still mostly connect into Google via XMPP, it's just a bit clunky. And it doesn't work as a true XMPP service as you can't connect to anyone but Google with it. I'm using it in Pidgin right now.
