>For example, WebRTC lets developers integrate real time audio/video/data awesomeness into websites and its readily available in firefox and chrome, but not safari.

And how does WebRTC matters for everyday use at the moment?

I haven't seen anything that is not a tech-demo or similar relying on it.

It would be nice to have it in Safari too (and I use Chrome myself), but it's hardly a deal breaker (or even relevant).

Arguably, it is because the lack of browser support that makes WebRTC "not matter for everyday use". We would see a lot more use if IE and Safari would implement it. And not only for video conferencing (such as https://appear.in), but also for multiplayer gaming, filesharing, audio recording+++

It's relevant to developers, in that some of what we do is tech-demos.
