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. :)
