Ask HN: Alternative to Skype?
Related to the other Skype thread (not supporting Firefox).
If Microsoft is cutting down on Skype and possibly going to kill it, I need to replace it. I still find it useful to chat with family overseas, share my screen or call international landline numbers. Is there anything else that does that on the market and works well on Mac/iOS?
- derrick_jensen 7y agoTox works pretty well, but it isn't too popular
- maverick74 7y agoYes, tox is great and you can have multiple clients, from regular software, like qTox, to web versions. Jami is also very nice! Both have an amazing plus side: they are distributed systems. It's a shame they are not that used by "our friends"
- kbn 7y agoMy personal favorite is Zoom
- maverick74 7y agoIf you change the userAgent to Chrome it will work. Add-ons such as Lider's Custom useragent ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/custom-user-agent-revived/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/custom-user-a... ) solves the problem
