I’m not a heavy Skype user so I can’t attest to the quality of calls and video versus the standard desktop app. It’s not instantly clear what this add-ons does but its permissions set implies it does more than let you click phone numbers online. Microsoft has also uploaded a ‘Skype Calling’ extension to the Chrome Web Store and will, on Windows, ask you to install it. To make a voice or video call you will need to install a plugin (you’ll be prompted to do this after signing in) but, as mentioned earlier, the plugin is only available for Windows and Mac OS X users. Quick-ity-boo, you’ll be ready to send and receive instant messages with your Skype buddies. Then just dart over to  in a new tab and sign in with your Skype login.

To try Skype for Web beta right now, in Chrome you need to be either the US or UK and have (or be willing to sign up for) a Skype account. Skype for Web is now available worldwide.
