I agree: this is the Debian package of the browser that has by far the highest usage share, see:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_web_browsers#Summary_tables it's not a niche project of some Free Software integralist (like me). After years we have finally an open standard for real time audio and video communication: WebRTC. Indeed a Skype replacement is also a high priority project of the FSF: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns/priority-projects/priority-projects/highpriorityprojects#Replaceskype The page in particular says: "WebRTC has a mission to enable rich, high quality, Real-Time Communications (RTC) applications to be developed in the browser via simple Javascript APIs and HTML5. Developers should consider helping free software VoIP and video, chat, and multimedia communications projects." This is a functionality that can't be omitted from a modern browser, especially if we want to put an emphasis on open standards, and I hope we are. I know more than one person that switched to the proprietary Chrome package because of this problem, at least until it's fixed. While I appreciate the work of the maintainers of the chromium package, and I thank them for them work they did so far, this silence over a such big issue is not a good sign. I really hope they will have it sorted out. Maintainers: if you need help or feedback just say it! We'll be happy to lend a hand. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
