enable_plugin_installation=0 disables built-in chromium plugin installation feature. This means for example if I open in chromium page with embedded flash object, but flash plugin is not installed, chromium will not show annoying panel on top of webpage with link to adobe.com.
I don't think we should make changes from upstream that are not obviously needed. Also, please see http://blog.chromium.org/2013/09/saying-goodbye-to-our-old-friend-npapi.html - NPAPI plugins are being deprecated.
I don't offer changes to code of chromium. I offer to add this option to ebuild in src_configure section.
(In reply to Eternal Sorrow from comment #2) > I don't offer changes to code of chromium. I offer to add this option to > ebuild in src_configure section. I understand. Whether it's a code change or configuration change, it's still a change. It would make us ship something different from what upstream ships - and unlike ./configure, in gyp most options are _not_ meant to be changed downstream.
