Applet2Object: A Page Element Replacer Chrome Extension

'Applet2Object' is a simple yet effective Chrome plugin that replaces all <applet> elements on a webpage with corresponding <object> elements, maintaining all attributes and parameters. Originally designed to assist with older equipment in Norwegian banks, it's an effective workaround for Chrome's dislike of applet tags, and is especially useful for paying bills online using Google Chrome. Note: Issues may occur with Chrome 8, but it performs well in Chrome 9 beta v/9.0.597.19.
Install from Chrome Web Store

(Translated from Norwegian)(Google Translate)(First review) It does not apply in all banks. Should work in any OS that Chrome is, but personally I use Ubuntu, and it works in most banks I have tested here. Mainly it was because I had problems with Sparebank 1 that I made ​​this, but know that it has "cleaned up" problems in banks and other networks. DnB Nor seem to use the embed tag to push in Java applets. Can see if I get to something;-)
