The early test versions of Chrome, Canary and Dev, don't use the Hangouts plugin, said Google programmer Victoria Kirst in a Google+ post on Friday. That approach makes life easier for Web developers, means people using the Web don't get tripped up by requests to install plugin software, and reduces security vulnerabilities that accompany the plugins. Plugins extend browser abilities - streaming video and animation in the case of Flash, and videoconferencing in the case of Google Hangouts - but browser makers have been pushing to use Web standards built directly into the Web instead. Now Google took a notable step in their banishment by phasing out its Hangout videoconferencing plugin for its Chrome browser.
A decade ago, much of the innovation in the browser world took place through plugins like Adobe Systems' Flash Player.
