Install Compare

web.skype.com for Firefox is a specialized Chrome extension that enables Firefox users to open and use the Skype Web application without encountering the "Unsupported browser" message. It does this by setting the userAgent to Google Chrome for Skype-related URLs, effectively bypassing Microsoft's browser restrictions.

While this extension facilitates access to Skype for Web by spoofing the browser identity, it does not resolve WebRTC API issues, so some features like video calls may still be limited in Firefox. The extension supports key Skype-related domains and addresses recent error messages by updating allowed URLs. This tool is a convenient workaround for Firefox users frustrated by Microsoft's Chrome-focused support, helping them maintain access to Skype's web services.
