unity webplayer
Hello,
I saw a lot of posts where was written that google chrome and other important browsers plan to take out the support for NPAPI for good, which affects the webplayer plugin. Does anyone know what will happen afterwards regarding unity browser based applications? I read about WebGL and html5 but will those be available for unity 4.x or will I be forced to upgrade to unity 5?
Thank you and have a great day

Well, we (the community) don't really know what plans Unity has for the future. The WebGL export is not a real replacement as it doesn't support all the features of the webplayer. Unity might provide a new webplayer based on some other API for those browsers. However according to this post you might have to live with the fact that it doesn't run on Chrome.
Keep in mind that this is a problem caused by Google and not Untiy in the first place. Switching to an alternative API isn't an easy task and i don't think this will happen.
Finally WebGL export is a Unity5 feature and you have to upgrade to Unity5 if you want to use it.
Thank you for your answer. I'll keep this in $$anonymous$$d
