615738 - Deprecate chrome://plugins - chromium - Monorail
Objective: Remove the chrome://plugins page, moving configuration for the last remaining plugin, Flash Player, to it's own explicit place in content settings (including an option, in settings, to disable). Rationale: This change should make the controls for Flash Player more discoverable, in settings (i.e. most users probably know what Flash is, but not what a "plugin" is), and will consolidate modes related to Flash Player (e.g. Plugin Power Savings mode), into a single location. Supporting Rationale: Since we've deprecated NPAPI, Flash Player is now our last remaining plugin (i.e. 3rd party binary modules). Those remaining "plugins" (PDF, CDM, etc...) started life as 3rd party code, but have since been built and maintained by Google... and at this point are effectively just specialized libraries for Chrome.Read full article from 615738 - Deprecate chrome://plugins - chromium - Monorail
