Which version do you download between the NPAPI or PPAPI or ActiveX for windows users?
NPAPI Vs PPAPI Which One To Choose
What is NPAPI?
NPAPI stands for Netscape Plugin API. It was first introduced in 1995 for the Netscape Navigator browser 2.0.
What is PPAPI?
PPAPI stands for Pepper Plugin API. This is a browser interface from Google that is much more secure than NPAPI.
There are two tar.gz and .rpm version available for both API. You can choose any of them. Mostly i would use tar.gz.
If you are using Ubuntu then you can download and install the FP 32.0 for Ubuntu (apt) version.
Adobe Flash Player Version for Windows 7 , Vista and XP
For Windows 7, Windows Vista, and XP OS there are three versions available.
- FP 32 for Opera and Chromium – PPAPI
- FP 32 for Internet Explorer – ActiveX
- FP 32 for Firefox – NPAPI
You have to choose the version based on the Browser you wanted to use it on. So if you are using chrome then download the Chromium PPAPI version.
I hope you were able to install the correct version of Adobe Flash player version on your Operating system.
