Since the start of the Internet, the browser has been with us as our sail mate in the turbulent waters of the web. First Netscape to the friendly fellows of Chrome, Opera, and Firefox to the not so neighborly Safari and Internet Explorer, the browser in its several forms is the key to our internet adventure. To talk about the importance of the browser let me introduce the three APIs that make this possible: GetUserMedia

Before WebRTC, (Real Time Communication over the Web) we should remember that previously, in order to communicate with other people over the internet using video and audio (a.k.a. a "Video Call"), the first thing you needed to do was install additional software.
