It's 2021. There are only a few (working) NPAPI plugins I knew, like Flash, Silverlight & VLC. Even acrobat didn't work anymore, SumatraPDF plugin is discontinued in 3.0 etc. So what NPAPI plugins that still works now (less popular one)? Do you use it?
Off-topic:
Also what happen to PPAPI, the one that google created? I think it's dead right?

Any NPAPI-compliant plugin is still usable. And there are plenty out there you are clearly not aware of, not in the least those used for application-specific communication that you may never even have heard of in your life. Whether publicly-used plugins still have public services to use them with is a different question, of course, but in the non-public sense there has been no diminished usability at all.

As I know Java 8 should also still work, as I know companies can still pay for updates.

SumatraPDF plugin is not installed by v3.xx installers but it is still working if upgrading from v2.5.2.
