Here's the official Ubuntu position: The Netscape Plugin API feature
can not be supported securely, so it has to go. Preventing attacks wins
over features. Upstream explicitly and intentionally has removed NPAPI
because it is insecure by design. Additionally, many remote-execution
security vulnerabilities are since fixed in code that has dropped NPAPI,
and those can not be ignored or backported forever.
The correct fix is to update plugins so they support the new, secure
API, PPAPI.
** Changed in: chromium-browser (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Won't Fix
