[webkit-help] NPAPI plugins

[Kotteeswaran E]

Hi,

Thanks for your prompt reply.

My concern is that as Google says, the NPAPI plugins are having security
issues as they plugins are available to the hackers.

We plan to implement PPAPI & NACL in webkit instead of NPAPI Plugin calls.

But We are not sure whether the PPAPI & NACL are portable to webkit
environment as a topic in firebreath says that Nacl is supported only in
google browsers i.e. it won't support third party browsers. And firebreath
is doing its own native messaging.

Please share ur valuable suggestions in this.

 thanks & regards,
Kotteeswaran.E
