[Cialug] Chromium vs. Chrome

[Brett Neese]

I know Google Hangouts claims to not work as well in Firefox, but works
just fine (though it does seem a bit buggier.)

This mentions that the issue with Hangouts originally was that their WebRTC
backend was not spec-compliant. I wonder if that's the case with other
services, decent video conferencing in the browser is still fairly new and
before the specs shaked out and were implemented devs had to rely on a lot
of browser specific hacks to get it to work at all.

You can also always try fudging your user agent.
