Adium for OS X hasn't caught up to this fact yet, and still requires a 3rd party plugin[0] that requires Skype to run for it to work. I wonder if anyone's trying to advance this at all -- the 3rd party plugin doesn't seem to receive updates anymore.

You could ask Eion about making his SkypeWeb Pidgin plugin for Adium, or look into it yourself. Here's the plugin I'm talking about by the way: https://github.com/EionRobb/skype4pidgin/tree/master/skypeweb https://github.com/EionRobb/skype4pidgin/tree/master/skypewe...

  Looks like it's just a libpurple plugin, and should work in Adium as well. He's even got a .dylib build in the Makefile, but I can't get it to build after tinkering with it for a few minutes. Oh well.

  > Q: Does this plugin require Skype to be running? A: Yes. From the FAQ: https://github.com/EionRobb/skype4pidgin#faq https://github.com/EionRobb/skype4pidgin#faq

    The FAQ is wrong, likely entirely outdated by now.

    The way the GitHub page is set up is weird. Basically two different plugins are hosted on one repo. The root tree you linked to has the original client required plugin. Go under "Skypeweb" folder and you'll see it's an entirely different plugin that you can compile and don't need a client (also has its own README).
