Making WebRTC available for FreeBSD

[Niklas Enbom]

Hey guys, not sure what this refers to. The G+ post talks about porting the
gtalk plugin to freeBSD. WebRTC is an effort in the opposite direction (no
plugins needed). Afaik there is a Chromium build for freeBSD that should
support WebRTC (unless it's disabled at build).
