Several banks here in Brazil require a "security" plugin (which acts more like malware) for one to be allowed to use online banking. I wonder how the end of NPAPI will affect this.

- cpeterso 10y agoIs the Brazilian "security" plugin an NPAPI plugin or a Chrome extension? Chrome doesn't support NPAPI plugins, so these banks either have non-plugin solution for Chrome or they don't support Chrome. Many Chinese ecommerce and government sites require their own "security" NPAPI plugins. These don't work in Chrome, but the large majority of users in China run hybrid browsers that use both Blink and Trident (IE) engines so these sites that require NPAPI plugins can be seamlessly loaded in a Trident tab. The user doesn't know the difference.
- cesarb 10y agoI know Chrome stopped supporting NPAPI plugins long before Firefox, so simply "use Chrome" won't be the answer. I doubt they will give up these "security" plugins, so the answer will most probably be an even more invasive system process. It seems that some banks are migrating to Warsaw, which is known for among other things causing problems with IPv6 (http://ipv6.br/post/bug-em-plugin-de-seguranca-de-bancos-bloqueia-internet/ http://ipv6.br/post/bug-em-plugin-de-seguranca-de-bancos-blo...).
