![]() However, I can bet any amount of money that they won't drop NPAPI support on Windows or Mac OS X until all the major NPAPI plug-ins (Java in particular) on those platforms have PPAPI support. This move is being made without any possibility of supporting NPAPI plug-ins on Linux apparently - Google are claiming that they will do the same on other platforms before the end of this year. It seems the dropping of NPAPI support wasn't triggered by lack of usage or security reasons, but actually because Google are moving away from GTK and re-jigging their graphics layer from GTK to Aura (why? If there's issues with GTK, why not talk to GTK devs and get some changes made to it?). How about Google to stop being self centered and stop thinking about stuff strategically, because you're becoming like Micro$oft, they linked everything almost directly to how much benefit this will bring to Windows and Office, and you're linking everything to the possibility of showing ads on it. Linux is the best OS, only if you can strip it down and put you Android OS on top of it, Java is the perfect companion to Android if you can cut-off Oracle and package it for free to make billions (tens of billions) from ads. Google's "Don't be evil" motto, is breaking day by day. Lets take it even further, how many POST HTTP calls vs GET getting called, maybe less than 0.001% of all calls are POST, please don't remove that (we do need the POST as well) ![]() Saying only 1% used Java Applet in the last 30 days and it's enough reason to drop it, is nonsense, this like saying, you only log-in to your bank account once a month, so it's fair to drop such support. Java Applet importance comes from high-class applications for professional users, like Stocks trading software, VPN access, in browser VNC and list can go on and on. Java and Linux is Liberty for us, most Windows' made applications run in Linux because of Java, calculating the raw usage of Java is "stupidity". ![]()
