Native client isn't pepper - they're two different things. If netflix was using native client, it wouldn't _need_ a plugin preinstalled - they'd just download a native client executable the first time you connect.
- modeless 15y agoEvery Native Client executable must use Pepper for all I/O. Native Client isn't yet enabled by default, so a Chrome extension is necessary.
- nkassis 15y agoI'm trying to understand, google hasn't enabled native client on chromeos yet? And the chrome extension allows you to enable it for a specific site? Is that possible for any developer to do? That could be useful for a use case I have.
- modeless 15y agoYes, you can make a Chrome extension using Native Client today. Later, when Native Client becomes portable between processor architectures, it will be fully enabled so that you can serve a Native Client executable from any website and it will run without any extension required.
