Been some time so that would be interesting to know. You can still use an external reader of your choosing; for example I'm using the marvellous Okular. You just can't use an NPAPI-based PDF reader plugin.

> If you care about security in the slightest, you should probably already have done that. Signed internal only use tool. Not running untrusted applets anywhere. Also no time to rewrite bug free working code. > You can still use an external reader of your choosing; So the answer is that it is still that bad? I guess I can just browse the web using wget and less if external tools are the next big thing. /s

If you care about security in the slightest, you should probably already have done that. These plugins have been click-to-play in the major browsers for a long, long time. Obviously they still provide some attack surface, but the biggest threats today don't come from plugins, they come from the main browser functionality, thanks in no small part to all the things browsers now have to provide so we can still do useful things that we used to do with plugins.
