Random or not, the browser vendors took a unilateral decision removing support for plugins like NPAPI and ActiveX, without considering the consequences for the users of such.  Compared to the developments going on in "App" space (probably including Facebook's recently announced payment system), /Web developers have become very disadvantaged/.

As an example these guys have virtually no web(browser) technology to power their stuff with:

No, I [surely] don't want resurrect ActiveX, I only want the browser vendors to realize that some kind of replacement is needed.
