I'm not willing to install another browser plugin to enable video chat anymore. Until video chat works without plugins I'm using the standalone apps. I know chrome bundles the hangouts plugin. I wish it didn't and worked without plugins.

Chrome doesn't bundle a plugin for hangouts, they use WebRTC. They use the plugin on other browsers that don't have WebRTC.

  No, they use a bunch of nonstandard extensions to WebRTC that basically amounts to the plugin. This is why the plugin is required on Firefox, even though it supports WebRTC. https://webrtchacks.com/hangout-analysis-philipp-hancke/ https://webrtchacks.com/hangout-analysis-philipp-hancke/
