CHROME STOPS SUPPORTING GOOGLE EARTH PLUG-IN

[GoogleEarth Student]

Well, it seems that Google has unofficially decided to depreciate the Earth API support in Chrome without officially telling anyone, the advice given so far has been to have users revert to an older version of Chrome.

Browsers that still support the GoogleEarth Plugin are FIREFOX, or SAFARI, of the 32 Bit Version of CHROME.  Yeah, we know that CesiumJS is an option, but those wonderful detailed altitude data in GE is hard to beat so far.

For Windows users using Google Chrome 32-bit, the Earth API is only supported up to Chrome rev-35

The 64-bit version of Chrome supports only 64-bit NPAPI plugins.

The following Google NPAPI plugins will not work with Chrome 64-bit:

Google Voice Plugin

Google Earth Plugin

If you want to use these or other NPAPI plugins, you should use the 32-bit Chrome channel. To switch channels visit the Chrome download page.
