The company announced today that it will start to block all NPAPI plugins in all versions of Google Chrome starting January 2015.
The timeline looks like this:
January 2015 -- Google removes the whitelist which allows popular plugins to be run currently in the browser. Whitelisted plugins are Silverlight, Unity, Google Earth, Java, Google Talk and Facebook Video. This means that all NPAPI plugins are blocked from running in Chrome from that month onwards.
April 2015 -- NPAPI support is disabled in Google Chrome and all browser extensions that require NPAPI plugins will be unpublished from the Chrome Web Store.
September 2015 -- The company will disable the override that companies and individuals can use to enable NPAPI plugins.
Lets hope slimjet keeps the Native client

If by the native client, you mean Chromium, let's hope so... haven't read what their policy will be on NPAPI yet.dev wrote:The company announced today that it will start to block all NPAPI plugins in all versions of Google Chrome starting January 2015.
