Update on Chrome 64 Plugin

Since my last update on my Chromebook experience, I played around with the Chrome 64 plugin. I tested the browser and was pleased to discover that previously visited links were accessible. The reason was that Google has made the upgrade with some limitations. Below is the statement on the help line that explains the limitations. For more information click HERE.

Chrome 64-bit supports only 64-bit NPAPI plugins

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

We have tested the following 64-bit NPAPI plugins and confirmed that they work with Chrome 64-bit:

• Oracle Java (64-bit)
• Microsoft Silverlight (64-bit)

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

• Google Voice Plugin
• Google Earth Plugin

Note: Google Hangouts works fully on Chrome 64-bit.

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

Please note that NPAPI will be removed from Chrome soon. You can contact the vendor of your NPAPI plugin and ask them to provide a replacement Chrome extension or app.
