How to write a browser plugin?

by

As others point out, plugins for those browser are written using the NPAPI.

Note: Both Firefox and Chrome will default most plugins to click-to-play soon, with Chrome planning to phase out NPAPI entirely. NPAPI for new projects is discouraged at this point.

Resources for getting started with NPAPI:

The NPAPI itself is however relatively low-level, but there are tools and frameworks that can help you with it:

  • FireBreath – cross-browser, cross-platform frame-work for plugins
  • Nixysa – generate glue-code for NPAPI plugins
  • JUCE – application framework also providing support for plugins
  • QtBrowserPlugin – Qt based browser plugin framework
