The field of Free conferencing software is growing at a breathtaking pace. In the summer of 1994 there were exactly two products in this category, but now most developers of conferencing software are hurrying to adapt their products to the Web, and the result is a lot of hybrid products that use the Web to a greater or less extent.
Hence, the boundary between Web and non-Free conferencing software is a bit blurry because systems that work with unmodified Web browsers and servers are of greatest interest, because they are the most easily accessible to the great mass of Web and intranet users.
Any Free conferencing software that requires users to install a browser add-on, or even an entire proprietary browser, suffers a handicap, although such special-purpose software might give it a significantly better user interface.
