Browser-based VoIP and chat services that work with just a browser now exist, so we can use Skype or browser plugins less.
Firefox Hello lacks chat/IM. However, etherpad is better than IM as it does limit interaction to serial messages.
tl;dr Get etherpad.org.

Not the etherpad part, but...
webrtc which is the actual thing https://together.jolla.com/question/9514/support-webrtc-in-native-web-browser/

Though I couldn't find any decent WebRTC services especially for calling phone lines (i.e. to replace Google Talk for example). Not sure why they don't exist.
About pure WebRTC options, recently Mozilla rolled out Firefox Hello (aka Loop) but only for the desktop version. It would be great to have it in Sailfish browser.

rdmo ( 2015-01-29 23:47:46 +0200 )editI'm hopeful about Firefox Hello and/or etherpad.org: the latter, a web-based live collaborative editor (not a wiki but could be part of one) is reportedly making effort to include video conversation capabilities.

rdmo ( 2015-03-25 23:49:05 +0200 )editFirefox Hello is nothing but WebRTC . Check the existing thread https://together.jolla.com/question/9514/support-webrtc-in-native-web-browser/
