Extension Metadata

About this extension
This extension sets Google Chrome's userAgent for the following URLs:
  • https://web.skype.com/*
  • https://preview.web.skype.com/*
  • https://join.skype.com/*
So now Skype believes this is Chrome browser and does not show "Unsupported browser" message.

There are requests from users about "Oops, it looks like something went wrong" error message started happening recently (#7, #8). In order to fix that there were added more URLs:
  • https://*.live.com/*
  • https://*.live.net/*
  • https://*.microsoft.com/*
  • https://*.microsoftonline.com/*
  • https://*.skype.com/*
  • https://*.skypeassets.com/*

⚠️ This extension gives you access to the website. It does not fix any issues related to WebRTC API, so video calls and other features may still not work on Firefox.

Shame on you Microsoft for throwing Firefox users away and actually enforcing Chrome's monopoly. 👎 😵
