no plugins under Chrome
Hi, I have been trying to get pipelight to run under Sid and Chrome, in order to use Netflix, to no avail, when I stumbled upon this: https://answers.launchpad.net/pipelight/+question/249016 Which says in effect release 34 removed the complete NPAPI plugin interface, so its not possible to use any other plugins (besides the integrated PepperFlash one) anymore.
