A lot I've seen lately must have come from the Lacotalent agency.

I know the voices in my head are not real but damn they come up with some good ideas!

So you now eat a kind of bread with ham and salami each day?
I'm confused.

Chrome v42 is becoming a pain:
I've resorted to IE for NowTV (which uses Silverlight); and I've just been blocked from completing a purchase at the VISA verification stage (possibly something to do with SSLv3 support - I've yet to investigate - it worked okay last week).
I know there may be Chrome flags that I can set to get around some issues but it now looks like I'll need to use an alternative browser (IE?) for everyday use.
I'm aware that there are issues with plug-ins and with protocols that have possible security weaknesses/issues - but the technologies that Chrome is dropping support for *are* still in use (and I don't think that Silverlight is going away anytime soon).
Do any of you wholeheartedly support Google's approach with Chrome? Do you just boycott sites that use unsupported technologies?
I'm off to research my options.

Having to use IE? Tragedy...there aren't enough flowers, even digital ones.

Yes, because you too will receive soon.
All silverlight apps I support have stopped working in chrome, I'm only lucky the almighty users of those apps use IE & I hope my luck lasts one more day.

I think it's well on its way out. At least that's the tack we're taking at work - and we have a huge SL app (in the process of being converted to HTML).

Unfortunately it looks like Sky have no immediate plans to ditch SL[^]

With Google[^] planning to pull the plug for NPAPI (and thus the silverblight plugin) later this year, they'd better start working on one soon.  Mozilla's rattling sabres at NPAPI; but IIRC hasn't gone beyond blocked by default for most plugins to setting an end date yet; their ongoing attempt to writehtml5 based flash player[^] has them publicly aiming one step farther down the road than Google is (AFAIK they haven't said anything about removing their build in flash player).
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Does any one know of an a authoritative doc/link you can send to a manager as official proof that the chrome team has nuked silverlight.

This states that they are getting rid of the NPAPI support that (I believe SL requires - link?) https://www.chromium.org/developers/npapi-deprecation[^]

Not so much a support of Google or Chrome but Silverlight was poorly conceived and poorly supported by Microsoft. You really should make every effort to avoid it.
Contrary to popular belief, nobody owes you anything.

As Microsoft has fallen a bit out of grace, so shall Google. They will end up being their own worse enemy. It is just one big cycle.

Don't know if you have tried this, but you can temporarily re-enable NPAPI in Chrome v42 by going to: chrome://flags/#enable-npapi
- Make sure NPAPI is Enabled (make sure it is not greyed out)
- Restart browser
Of course, by v45 (approx Sept), even this backdoor will be sealed up eventually.
