Does the Nexus use NPAPI? Still can't download with Chrome

[DiaborMagics]

Hello everyone,

 

TL;DR: I would like to know who can still download mods to MO directly from the 'Download with Manager' button and how.

 

Full: I would like to know who can still download mods to MO directly from the 'Download with Manager' button and how.

Eversince Chrome ditched NPAPI support I have to use FireFox and even though I've done so for about a year, maybe more now, FireFox still is not my favorite browser, Chrome still is. I just NEED to be able to download directly via Chrome again. Does anyone know how to enable it? Especially if the Nexus doesn't use NPAPI, I don't understand why I cannot download mods through Chrome, unless I install Manually, which I hate to do, too.

 

I have been Googling my fingers off and I can't find a single helpful thing on this. I can't be the only one who wishes to download normally through Chrome, right? Every time I look through mods and want to install or update a mod, I have to copy the URL, open Firefox, paste, go there, click the button. This... just frustrates me to no end.

 

And I never get the question to allow external handlers, either. That list in my settings is completely empty, too and there isn't even a 'handler' keyword in my Chrome user data.

 

I really hope someone can help me here. Thank in advance,

Install the "IE Tab" extension and you shouldn't have any issues. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ie-tab/hehijbfgiekmjfkfjpbkbammjbdenadd (Hopefully this link works... otherwise just open the Chrome extensions site and search for IE Tab.)

Also at: https://www.ietab.net/

 

(Oh, and as a side note, Firefox has removed most of it's NPAPI support as well. Basically only Flash left. To an extent Java as well. My guess is that the button runs on coffee, since it works in Firefox.)

Sorry for posting in the wrong thread; I figured it is a problem with downloading mods, so... but thanks for telling me ;)

 

From what I see, IE Tab integreated Internet Explorer into your Chrome Browser? Doesn't that create a huge security risk? If not, then it's a great idea and probably the best one possible.

Still lame I can't use the button on Chrome normally tho :P

There is an option to make sure that IE Tab only runs on specific sites if I recall correctly. Have switched to Firefox myself for memory reasons, so I don't quite remember exactly how it works. :)

 

But turning it on permanently is a huge risk, that I won't deny. :P

Ok thanks, at least I'm right about that one. I'll try it out.

 

In the meantime, anybody know of any safer routes?

Don't you just need to associate NXM links with MO? Download with manager button still works for me using version 1.3.11 of MO and version 58.0.3029.110 of Chrome.

 

Perhaps something in this thread may help: http://forum.step-project.com/topic/4736-google-chrome-cant-download-from-skyrim-nexus-using-mo/
