How to activate Silverlight in Chrome
From version 42 from Google Chrome, users have found that the Silverlight plugin does not work in this browser. Considering that there is a significant amount of content on the Internet made with this technology, the problem is quite serious (and using multiple separate browsers is not the best solution). See also How to enable Java in Chrome.
The reason the Silverlight plugin doesn't work with the latest versions of Chrome is that Google refused to support NPAPI plugins in their browser and, from version 42, this support is disabled by default (the refusal is due to the fact that these plugins are not always compatible). stable and may have security issues).
Silverlight does not work in the Google Chrome search engine: how to fix the problem
To enable the Silverlight plugin, you will first need to re-enable NPAPI support in Chrome by following the steps below (with the Microsoft Silverlight plug-in already installed on your computer).
- In the address bar of your browser, enter address chrome: // flags / # enable-npapi – This will open a page with the settings for the experimental Chrome features and at the top of the page (when I go to the exact address) you will see highlighted “Enable NPAPI”, click on “Enable”.
- Restart your browser, go to the page where Silverlight is needed, right click where the content should be and select “Run this plugin” in the context menu.
This completes all the steps required to connect Silverlight and everything should work without a hitch.

According to Google, in september 2015 support for NPAPI plugins will be completely removed from Chrome browser and, therefore, con Silverlight. Despite this, there are reasons to hope that this will not happen: promised to disable such support by default from 2013, later in 2014, and only in 2015 we saw it.
Other than that, I find it doubtful that they bet on him (for not offering other options to view Silverlight content), since it would mean losing, even if not too much, a quota of your browser on users' PCs.
