- southerntofu 5y agoAnd that's why we use Jitsi, Conversations, Jami... that is pieces of software that were designed to interoperate, not just work in a very specific set of circumstances on particular hardware, with a certain OS version and when the weather is right.
- birthdaydog 5y agoI use both Firefox and Jitsi, but I gotta say, Jitsi has horribly buggy Firefox support.
- asherkin 5y agoFirefox is/was really lacking in WebRTC support for non-P2P use cases - bandwidth estimation support was sub-standard until recently, there is no support for simulcast (multiple video quality encodings) when using H.264, and no E2E encryption support (which is very new to the spec). There has been a lot of back and forth on the Firefox / Jitsi situation but it does seem that most of the time the ball has been sitting in Firefox's court.
- gorjusborg 5y agoI wouldn't be surprised if that outcome is intentional. Apple has been pretty transparent (through their actions) that they don't want FaceTime and ichat to be cross platform. It could be that this exists as a piece of evidence in an anti-trust fight.
