You probably refer to the drop of support for NPAPI (e.g. article in http://venturebeat.com/2014/11/24/google-chrome-will-block-all-netscape-plugin-api-plugins-in-january-drop-support-completely-in-september/ about Chrome but Firefox is following cloesely behind).
There are temporary work-around provided by Google to keep letting some plugins to be enabled by some sites, but they are all expected to be gone by the end of 2015 so should better find alternatives soon. As for the original question - I doubt that it's a plugin issue. It sounds more like some of the dependent resources on these pages are being blocked or otherwise (temporarily?) unavailable. What does the JavaScript console show? Do you have some corporate proxy which could be misbehaving? Just for shits and giggles, I visited www.trivago.com.au and had no problem accessing it, even on my flaky home ADSL2+ line. --Amos On 8 June 2015 at 17:13, DaZZa <dazzagi...@gmail.com> wrote: > What browser? > > Recently, Chrome (and possibly Firefox) decided that all java pugins (and > others like Silverlight) were "unsecured", and the simply stopped allowing > the plugins to work. > > Broke countless business-related Web sites - I had a storm of them, all > being blamed on "the firewall", or "the network". > > I can't find the reference articles I dug up at the time as I'm mobile, > but try a different browser and see if that helps. > > DaZZa > On 08/06/2015 3:24 PM, "david" <da...@kenpro.com.au> wrote: > > > I have a "business ethernet" internet connection from a TPG reseller. > > > > Suddenly some external websites or partial websites are inaccessible from > > local clients.
