Remember when Mozilla management promised that they were going to kill pdf.js (why?) and replace it with the chrome pdf viewer, then wasted a few years not pulling it off? Good times.
- jfk13 5y agoSometimes plans don't work out (and/or circumstances change), and changing them is the sensible thing to do. (I don't know details of this specific case, and whether/why the plans and decisions made sense at any given time.)
- zinekeller 5y agoI'll copy out this comment of mine in response to an analogous question: > Mozilla developers at the time actually have other plans with the Pepper plugin support: Adobe Flash (since that Chrome's Pepper Plugin API (PPAPI) is actually miles better and secure than the Netscape [-era - ed.] Plugin API or NPAPI). They abandoned Mortar (the name of the project) when Adobe have announced that it will retire Flash.
