CNET: Google begins barring browser plug-ins from Chrome

[Joe McGlynn]

You're correct, this only affects applets (Java apps that run inside the web page).

We've just learned about this move from NPAPI, so it's too early to speculate what we'll do.  We are certainly going to evaluate what it will take to support PPAPI and what the tradeoffs are.
