That's not good news. Which plugin? The Sun non-free one? There is one
site that I used to use a lot that requires that to work. (It's a stock
analysis site.) I haven't been in the market lately, but I expect to be
active again at some point. And when I do want to use it, I want it to
work!
Why did they switch from gecko to webkit anyway? It was working so well.
I still use it in Lenny. But not in Squeeze. Not anymore.
