    No, thank you.

    That article, which is from 2015 btw, explain it well. NPAPI caused crashes, and a lot of security issues, that’s why they were removed.

    If I remember correctly, the issue was they were moving to sandboxing and NPAPI plugins had a lot of issues with security at the time. There was a new flash vulnerability almost every week, and usually it meant getting a lot of control over the browser.
