Thats where I got confused, here is the link for the article http://techcrunch.com/2013/09/23/say-goodbye-to-npapi/
As they mentioned Google Chrome will block NPAPI based plugins since Jan 2014 and Mozilla from December.

As I was just started creating a plugin with NPAPI, this news really stuck me up. So as per you guys, I think, its go ahead for NPAPI plugin.
But are there any alternatives besides using NPAPI as for Chrome they suggesst PPAPI or NaCl.
