title: How to detect if skype is installed using javascript
body: <p>I've seen many answers to this issue like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>if (typeof(navigator.mimeTypes["application/x-skype"]) == "object") {
       return true;
  } 
  else return false;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But it doesn't seem to work, I have skype installed in my PC and in my android, and both return false.</p>
  
  <p>I tried to find, and skype doesn't have any mimetype register. Is there another way to verify?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks :)</p>
