Hi, Is anybody still using the plugin process? I understand that Safari does not allow plugins anymore. Epiphany doesn't either, nor does anything packaged in Linux distros (afaik). If nothing is using it, maybe we can delete a lot of code? Is it exposed in Apple system APIs? WebKitGTK still has an enable-plugins setting that is not yet deprecated. Probably long past time to at least deprecate it. There's also, incredibly, an enable-java setting, which I presume toggles the old Java browser plugin. I sense there must be some history behind that setting. :)
