Download plugins by javascript on Chrome, Safari - plugins

I have implemented the plugin by NPAPI for Firefox, Chrome, Safari, but there is a issue for me is how to download the plugin by JavaScript on Chrome, Safari?
I know the .xpi is a extension for Firefox, and I can write the script for downloading the xpi from server and Firefox will equip a xpi to Firefox extension folder.
But how can Chrome and Safari do for downloading the plugin ? As I know the Chrome should put its plugin dll on C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\plugins folder, Safari should put its C:\Program Files\Safari\Plugins?
I'm appreciated for any infomation. Thanks

Why not do 'document.location = pluginurl' or "googlechrome.exe pluginurl"

how to use playwright with plugin (like stylus, a chrome plugin)

I am using chromium.launchPersistentContext to open a head chrome. I want to use plugins, like stylus, that change the css of the page. Why chrome plugins does not appear with my local chrome instance ? I can see the bookmark, have the session saved, but no plugins appearing. Any idea ?
Extensions only work in Chrome / Chromium in non-headless mode, launched with a persistent context.
Are you using headless mode?
or have you tried --load-extension?

VScode on Mac - launch safari debug

I've been looking for a launch.json config to launch safari with a url from my mac for debugging. I can't seem to locate a way to launch the safari browser and open a url link.
I looked for some extensions, saw the older IOS debugger one and saw some preview in browser extension options. I'm not sure if its possible. I haven't stumbled across a something on the web yet. I'm working with SFCC and a specific safari browser issue.
In the meantime I will try prophet debugger and setting up a default browser of safari on the mac.

Getting rid of browser restart on plugin installation

I have been working on a browser plugin for windows which involves displaying camera output in browser. Presently I'm working on Windows 7. After plugin installation, I want to start the plugin immediately without restarting the browser. I noticed that as soon as plugin is registered, it started working in Google Chrome Version 24.0.1312 as well as in Internet Explorer 9. But it fails to do so in Mozilla Firefox 18.0.1. Can anyone help me solve this problem of restarting the browser after plugin installation. And will this problem occur in MacOS as well?
Thanks
You need to do a navigator.plugins.refresh(false); in javascript to tell the browser to rescan the plugins.

You need to install the Google Web Toolkit Developer Plugin:
In the development mode window you
will find the URL for the local
server. Paste this URL into Firefox,
Internet Explorer, Chrome, or Safari.
Since this is your first time hitting
the development mode server, it will
prompt you to install the Google Web
Toolkit Developer Plugin. Follow the
instructions in the browser to install
the plugin. Once the Google Web
Toolkit Developer Plugin is installed
in your browser, navigate to the URL
again and the starter application will
load in development mode.
