NoPlugin Chrome Extension: Play Legacy Media Without Plugins

NoPlugin is a Chrome extension enabling the viewing and playing of legacy content designed for erstwhile browser plugins like Adobe Flash, QuickTime, and Windows Media Player. With the browsers discontinuing these plugin-types for performance and security reasons, NoPlugin sweeps through the webpages for embedded plugin objects, converting them into native player elements or assisting in downloading for separate application play. Open source and GPL licensed, its code can be accessed at https://github.com/corbindavenport/noplugin.

I used it to play a video feed from an alarm.com camera. Very useful. Works as intended.
