Fix for: How do I get Java support on Google Chrome in Linux?

Low Risk

There's a guy (Michael Müller) who have wrote some patches to re enable the support for NPAPI (so icedtea will work). This is somewhat a workaround. but is expected to work. (Actually I haven't tested) Currently the build version is 36. If you use ArchLinux you can build and install it from AUR. chromium-npapi If not, you can see in PKGBUILD the build process.
