I really like https://web.skype.com, nothing to install or update and it's got a lot of features, plus it runs under Ublock's purview and it inlines YouTube videos.
But I see a banner often saying they've replaced it with something Chrome-specific. :(
Right, but then they also have no visibility into what's installed or running on my computer, and it's not like I had much control over installed versions they just obsolete w/e API they want on whatever schedule they want to force updates.
