Started this week the uTox client and this is very good alternative. BUT if you still need skype (and unfortunately some do.) So far it seems focused on making called so no access to VOIP or chatīut as I stated, no plugin required (uses webRTc) whether MS makes it useragent Agnostic is another thing. It seems to actively check useragent string but when I switch it it IE8 it logs in. Looks like it is in Skype for Web is in beta. The present beta needs a 3rd party plugin to work via your browser, but the aim is to be a plugin-less, using WebRTC webclient. MS are actually working on a WebRTC based Skype.

I did not find the WebRTC free demo sites particularly intuitive to use, so have prepared a blog post ( WebRTC – A viable alternative to Skype) as an aide-mémoire and to help others. I had never heard of WebRTC so decided to check it out, and indeed it turns out to be a viable alternative for some of the functions offered by Skype (although I did not check if Skype-to-landline, something I need to use quite often, is replicated by any of the commercial Web sites that use WebRTC). Why not use WebRTC? Can be tried on and should work in Firefox or Google chrome. It seems that microsoft now started to force the new skype protocol: anybody heard of apulse? I found this on the arch forums. It turned out the most tricky part is making your computer-illiterate friends reach that 5th tab in account settings and type STUN server address there direct voice chat from one private network to another private network. Doesn't have echo cancelation and does not support video AKA you better use it with headphones, but once you provide it a name of STUN server it has a good chance of piercing NATs and firewalls. I gave psi with jingle another try (in case anyone didn't know psi, it's xmpp/jabber client).
