Google Will Start Blocking Most Netscape Plug-In API Plug-Ins In January 2014, Will Whitelist Silverlight, Unity & Others
The name "Netscape Plug-in API"(NPAPI) sounds like a relic from another age of browsers but Chrome, Mozilla and other browsers still support this architecture for writing browser plugins today. Its time is quickly coming to an end, though. Mozilla will block NPAPI plugins in Decemberand Google today announced that Chrome will stop blocking webpage-instantiated NPAPI plugins by default in January 2014. Starting today, Google also won't accept any new apps or extensions that contain NPAPI-based plugins in its Web Store. The Chrome team plans to completely drop NPAPI support from the browser by the end of 2014.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/A0N5mbcDKXg/
