Reminder: Chrome Users Losing RuneScape Support


scapefix

Chrome users will need to change browsers or download the official client if they wish to continue playing RuneScape after this month. As part of April’s updates, Google has announced that they are dropping support for the Netscape Plugin API, and Java support is going down with it. As a result, games likes RuneScape will cease functioning on the browser.

Players will need to download the official client or play on Internet Explorer or Firefox. Mozilla is expected to drop NPAPI support as well.

Google has been slowly deprecating NPAPI support over the past couple of years, owing to the platform’s 90’s era architecture being responsible for crashes, hangups, and security vulnerabilities. Google already blocks Java by default, and Apple instituted a policy of disabling outdated plugins to protect users.
