https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NPAPI anybody ever heard of this programming standard for webpages? After reading about this standard, and finding out that modern browsers dropped support for it, now I know why MIDI files can't be heard natively in our newer web browsers anymore! Or at least I think this might be the reason.

it says that support for the NPAPI standard got dropped for "security" reasons. When I wanted to add some old school MIDI audio to the hybrid Windows 95/3.1 visual theme of the new webpages I designed for SEFY, I ended up embedding code to load YouTube uploads of classic MIDI files. What's also sad is that Dave Smith, father of MIDI died this year.
