Any “serious Internet user” who can’t recognise shitty ESP click-tracking links needs to have their seriousness level re-evaluated.

No, I was simply making an observation about the impression it creates. I agree it is not the intention of the developers for it to look like this.

Most of my own expertise is in real-time communications, so the best way I could probably contribute would be helping somebody [develop a WebRTC plugin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/adding-webrtc-support-to-discourse-with-jscommunicator/63199).

In any case, before anybody has a crack at developing these improvements, it is useful to discuss them and agree what the team would like to support in the long term, that is why I raise a lot of ideas before any code is written.
