Is there a specific media type you're interested in? I find the gxine plugin to work great for almost all media... I don't really find a need for plugger anymore.
As I use his new machine, (not delivered to him yet) trying to make web browsing more enjoyable seems important. On my boxes it isn't, but it's mostly because I haven't studied how to make it work well. This weekend I was trying to learn about the plug-in architecture and find some set of solutions that worked. I got part way, but not really very far. That's what I'm trying to do.
Either gxine or mplayer will take care of most audio/video formats. Macromedia provides a flash plugin (which you can install with "emerge netscape-flash"). That covers 95% of the non-pure-html pages out there.
Some web pages are stupid, though. For example, ifilm.com looks for specific plugins instead of checking to see if there is a plugin to handle the formats it wants. In that case, crossover plugin may be the only option.
