npapi plugin internet explorer

NPAPI, or Netscape Plugin Application Programming Interface, was a framework used by browsers like Internet Explorer (IE) to support plugins that extended the functionality of web browsers. Although initially popular for features such as running Java and Adobe Flash, NPAPI support has been largely phased out in modern browsers due to security risks and performance issues, impacting developers and users alike.

Here's a selection of notable software products that can be used as alternatives for viewing web content that historically required NPAPI plugins in Internet Explorer. These products provide modern solutions for enhanced web browsing experiences.
