https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/InternetWeb/Conceptual/WebKit_PluginProgTopic/WebKitPluginTopics.html Speaks volumes. See the Note box amendations, post 10.7 last year. NPAPI plugins can be made safer by running in a limited user account, thus one can install and run plugins in a limited user account setup, SFAIK. > Is there a official statement of Apple > what will be the future of QC or qtz > files in the web? Haven't found one as yet. Will let you know if and when I happen to do so. I think it is a good opportunity for some plucky developer to create a NPAPI QC Plugin. Inded a lot of WebKit plugins can and no doubt shall be ported over That might secure some future, on the web, browsed on the Mac, for such a technology. Looks like HTML5 and CSS3 and WebGL and who knows, perhaps some of the currently nascent, beta Audio and Video APIs might just take up some of those QC Plugin capabilities. I think I should have stressed that it is Safari on 10.7 [version 5.1 being the norm ref install at present apart from beta and nightly builds] that breaks the WebKit Plugin API.
