[Qt5-feedback] Will there be browser plugins?

[morten.sorvig at nokia.com]

Those of you who are interested in Qt as a browser plugin might want to take a look at Qt for Google Native Client research project (developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/Qt_for_Google_Native_Client), which is Qt compiled as a sandboxed native client module using PPAPI ("Pepper" - Google's NPAPI alternative). 

The way this is different from the other plugin solutions mentioned is that there is no dependency on having QtWebkit or a Qt plugin installed - Qt is downloaded toghether with the application code. 

The port is currenly for Qt 4 only, but as far as I can see there is nothing in the Qt 5 design or requirements that would prevent porting. (Pepper OpenGL ES support is on its way for example).
