We haven't yet determined if it is even possible to create a port of IcedTea-Web to PPAPI, due to the sandboxing and other restrictions Google places on extensions built with Pepper/Native Client.

Chromium are open source so it could potentially be modified. Currently my brightest idea are to use DLL injection and override the entire engine component with something similar to Chrome Frame. If we simply run another browser engine, such as a modified Chromium engine with NPAPI-support, that might work. Or an engine that do not require any hacking such as Qt WebKit which supports NPAPI plugins out of the box. Another option would be to make a completely Chrome-compatible browser out of Chromium, which are what the Qt WebEngine are all about. Such a browser could be entirely FOSS and shipped with Linux distributions. A mayor problem would be the Flash plugin which may require that Chrome are also installed. As a system admin I would like to avoid installing Chrome in such a scenario, or at least hide it well.

Firefox, Safari and IE will work. - If possible, use JNLP. AFAIK it will continue working. - If you, like me, are using applets for electronic signature, probably the best option is to keep praying for Webcrypto+FIDO Regards.

Java doesn't show in about:plugins. How to reproduce: 1) Install openjdk-7-jre and icedtea-7-plugin 2) Open chromium 3) Go to about:plugins and look for java or icedtea, or try to run an applet What happens: the plugin is not listed, applets won't run What is expected: the plugin is listed and applets work Note: Firefox detects the plugin and applets work in Firefox, which means the plugin is properly installed.
