Curious- what tasks do you do that are reliant on NPAPI? Job related or personal?

  Not the OP but lots of people who use acrobat reader plugins to fill in / sign forms. Chrome's built in PDF reader got better, but it still can't A. post a filled form back to the browser/server or B. sign a document.

    Also, when I turn on full page view in Chrome's PDF viewer, why can't I turn pages with my mousewheel, the way I can in Adobe Reader? When I need to skim a document, doing normal scrolling with the mousewheel would give me RSI or something.

  Job related for my users. Newegg order management needs silverlight

    I did not realize Silverlight is a NPAPI plugin. So doesn't that mean Netflix will be inaccessible from Chrome now?

      Netflix has an HTML5 stream now, which is one of the things that's allowing Google to go ahead with this.

        Haven't kept up with the Netflix tech blog since they were first looking into HTML5 video, great to hear they've already rolled this out. Good for Linux, too.

  Our Citrix log in portal uses NPAPI... Made for a rough week when that update rolled out.
