Thanks to the work and participation of the W3C and IETF communities in developing the platform, Chrome and Firefox can now communicate by using standard technologies such as the Opus and VP8 codecs for audio and video, DTLS-SRTP for encryption, and ICE for networking. In order to succeed, a web-based communications platform needs to work across browsers.

The goal of this technology is to offer developers rich, secure communications, integrated directly into their web applications. Last week according to the Chromium blog, the technology has made another giant leap where Chrome and Firefox can “talk” to each other for the first time. I first wrote about WebRTC last year where it was still in infancy stage. However, now a technology that enables browser-to-browser communication called WebRTC spearheaded by Google and Mozilla is about to change the way that online users communicate.
