The interface, still supported by most modern web browsers is still widely used even though it has been in decline in recent time thanks to advancements in HTML5 technology.Īnyway, Chrome users may notice that some websites and services that used to work in the browser stopped working because of the automatic blocking of plug-in contents in Chrome.Ī click on the notification in the browser's address bar displays an option to allow the plug-in to be run on that site for the session or always when you connect to it.
