WebRTC offers web application developers the ability to write multimedia applications — such as video chat — without requiring plugins, downloads or installations.

According to Mozilla, because this functionality is now baked into the browser, “users can avoid problems with first-time installs and buggy plugins, and developers can deploy their apps much more easily and universally”.

This enables developers to create Firefox WebRTC applications that make direct video calls to Chrome WebRTC applications, and vice versa.
