I just read that Chrome will end support for NPAPI (Netscape Plugin Application Programming Interface, the API that the vast majority of plugins use) in a year or so, and the only plugins I know about that use Chrome's more secure PPAPI (Pepper Plugin API) are its own PDF viewer and the bundled Flash Player; I wonder whether other plugins, like Java, Shockwave, QuickTime, Windows Media Player, Divx, AlternaTIFF, Caminova DjVu, and Unity will also come out with PPAPI versions for Chrome: http://blog.chromium.org/2013/09/saying-goodbye-to-our-old-friend-npapi.html
I could also see Adobe Reader, Foxit, PDF-Xchange, and SumatraPDF doing this, even though they'd be less important because Chrome already has a PDF viewer. 10/7/2013 5:25:55 AM |
