Dear Alerto,
Thanks for your notification. I am sad to hear that the plugin support
will be removed.
The plugin is our company's in house program to provide a way to
communicate between C/C++ and JavaScript, makes it possible for the
connected primitive hardware to play some roles in the evolving Internet
world.
We don't use the full features of NPAPI, but just the calling/passing
functions and information between the browser and the underneath lower
level system/hardware resources.
If removing of the plugin is inevitable, we will need to find an
alternative of WebKit to fulfill our goal.
Would it be possible to keep an older version of the plugin enabled
WebKit? Like, the new WebKit would be version 3, and let the old one
survive as WebKit 2 and stay as it is?
Thanks for your attention.
Regards
Ben

Dear Maintainer,
When loading plugin, webkit complains it couldn't find
WebKitPluginProcess
Thanks, this is an upstream bug and it affects all 2.30.x releases.
Out of curiosity, what plugin is that? Upstream will remove support
for NPAPI plugins altogether in future releases:
