If you’ve been avoiding Skype because you don’t want to hand over your personal information to create a Skype account, Mozilla has come out with an alternative: Firefox Hello. Designed to enable voice and video calls directly from your browser, Hello is built into the latest version of Firefox, released Tuesday.
According to Mozilla, Firefox Hello is “the first global communications system built directly into a browser.” It’s one of three new features to come out as part of Firefox 35.
The latest stable release of the Firefox browser also includes a “Share” function that lets users integrate their favorite social networking sites into the browser, as well as a beta version of Firefox Marketplace, an app-testing tool for developers.
