Info: how to enable NPAPI in chrome

For some people that want to use classical dev mode in chrome (super devmode works very well indeed), you can enable NPAPI plugins accesing chrome://flags/#enable-npapi. 

Recently, Google Chrome (version 42) disabled the use of NPAPI plugins.  


Background:

Workarounds:

From https://www.chromium.org/developers/npapi-deprecation :

This is a one-off method, unless using group policy with Chrome

"Although plugin vendors are working hard to move to alternate technologies, a small number of users still rely on plugins that haven't completed the transition yet. We will provide an override for advanced users (via chrome://flags/#enable-npapi) and enterprises (via Enterprise Policy) to temporarily re-enable NPAPI (via the page action UI) while they wait for mission-critical plugins to make the transition."
