I use web.skype.com these days. I don&#x27;t want that piece of crapware installed on my box, as I don&#x27;t trust it.<p>The web client works well enough for chat so I can talk to my friends who don&#x27;t want to move away from it.<p>It does however not support calls since for some reason it needs a browser plugin for that. WebRTC would clearly be too easy.
So I just link people a Firefox Hello link whenever they want to use voice.
