WebRTC is hugely beneficial. Currently it is marketed as a sort of media collaboration channel, but it’s more important than that.
WebRTC allows mostly point to point communication. I say mostly because if IPv4 is the network protocol in use you need a third party identity provider to mitigate NAT. IPv6 does not have NAT. That is compelling from a privacy perspective because you cannot ultimately achieve privacy so long as there is a third party present (server) in the communications channel. Even with end to end encryption the third party server still has access to all conversation related data, just not the content of that conversation.
