How to temporarily enable NPAPI plugins in Chrome? I need it to run the Java Plugin.

As of Chrome version 42, NPAPI supported is disabled by default. This is the first step of ending NPAPI support in Chrome completely. Here is what Google said on its web site: "In the past, many plugins were developed using an older system called NPAPI. Today fewer sites are using NPAPI plugins and they can sometimes cause security risks on websites. To make browsing with Chrome safer, faster, and more stable, we’re ending support for NPAPI plugins with Chrome version 42."

If you must use a NPAPI plugin, there’s a temporary workaround that will work until Chrome version 45 is released later in 2015:

1. Open Chrome.

2. In the address bar at the top of the screen, type chrome://flags/#enable-npapi

3. In the window that opens, click the link that says Enable under the Enable NPAPI flag.

4. In the bottom left corner of the page, click the Relaunch Now button.

After the release of Chrome version 45, you’ll need to use an alternate web browser to load content that requires a NPAPI plugin.
