Did they finally update the video chat parts of Talk / Hangouts to not need a NPAPI-only plugin?
It was absolutely absurd of them to kill NPAPI in Chrome and not update Talk / Hangouts accordingly. I ended up switching back to Firefox at work just so I could use Hangout video chats again.

- McGlockenshire 12y agoOdd, it seems like I just checked the other week, but it has been a while. It's also quite possible that the way they segment their product rollouts between public and Google Apps for Business accounts might have meant that we didn't get the update when I last checked it. Using Chrome on Linux also might have something to do with it...
