The multi-browser plugin was a watershed moment in our businesses ability to connect with our customers. We're a State Agency, and pay a hefty contract with Appeon to use their products.
Now, Google Chrome has announced that they will end all use of NPAPI plugins with Version 45. They just went to Version 43 very recently. For years, our customers could only connect to our Oracle database using the Appeon plugin to interface with our front facing website. If the browser companies (one or many) decide to exterminate plugins from working, how will we do business?
Does Appeon have anything in the works to address the loss of NPAPI plugin connections in IE, Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari and others? We need a solution, or we cannot provide any service to the citizens of our State.

Chrome still supports plug-ins... they are just deprecating the NPAPI standard. We already have alternate solution working in our labs, and are currently beginning to do QA. Assuming QA is OK we will be releasing in near future. In meantime, NPAPI plug-ins will still work in Chrome until September.
