This is a hot topic because the web browser is used so much by so many people that they are passionate about improving the experience. It's been said many times Chromium and Firefox are not going to happen, so it may be more worth our time to lay this discussion to rest. We're all accustomed to

My vote is to move forward. I haven't used an IM client for over a year, except at work, where we use Pidgin + SIPE for compatibility with Microsoft Office Communicator. Google Voice works just fine through the web browser, and I've given up on support for it on the desktop. The indicator
