On the Internet, users work not only with text data. Almost always, graphic elements are involved during Internet surfing. For example, while watching movies, playing games in certain applications, studying pictures on the Web. For normal work with 3D-graphics in an Internet browser, the user needs to initialize the browser with support for Unity Web Player. Which utilities should I prefer? How can I activate the corresponding service in Chrome, Mozile and Yandex? We will try to understand all this below. The simplest instructions will help to cope with the tasks without much difficulty.
Utility Description
Unity Web Player - what is this program? Every computer player or movie buff is sure to know her.
Unity Player is a plug-in with NPAPI technology, which allows you to play 3D-graphics in an Internet browser. Without the appropriate utility, it will be impossible to watch videos or play 3D flash games.
You can answer the question as follows: "What kind of program is this - Unity Web Player?" This is a utility without which it is difficult to imagine the operation of the browser. Unfortunately, recently, web browsers have disabled support for the corresponding application. In this regard, a number of questions arise. How to activate UWP? Which browsers are best used?
List of old browsers with utility support
Browsers with Unity Web Player support are not as common as you want. The thing is that UWP uses NPAPI, which is considered very vulnerable. Today they are trying to abandon this technology. Therefore, in some browsers Unity Player does not start.
Here is a list of older browsers with Unity Web Player support:
- Yandex.Browser up to version 16.
- "Google Chrome" to the 44th assembly.
- Mozilla Firefox up to version 52 (32-bit only).
- "Opera" 36 builds and older versions.
You can use these utilities, but doing so is not recommended. To enable UWP, you must first download the appropriate plugin, and then just install it. By default, the use of the utility will be activated in the Internet browser.
Important: when initializing older versions of Web browsers, you will have to disable the auto-update option in the settings. Otherwise, the browser will be updated. This will lead to errors when working with the "Web Player".
UWP Compatible Internet Browsers
Fortunately, today users can download and use different programs. And Web browsers are no exception.
In addition to the utilities listed above, you can use other browsers that support Unity Web Player. Here are some of them:
- Amigo.
- Safari
- "Internet Explorer".
These programs still work well with Unity. Simply install UWP and restart the Internet browser.
Important: the listed programs are still not in great demand. Therefore, users are trying to include Unity in Opera, Chrome or Mozilla.
UWP activation in Mozilla up to 52 builds
The Mozilla of older versions is a browser with Unity Web Player support. To activate the corresponding service, the user needs to follow the instructions below.
She has this interpretation:
- Log in to Firefox and open the main application menu.
- Go to "Add-ons" - "Plugins".
- Find UWP and click on the drop-down list with the mouse cursor (left button).
- Set to Always.
Important: if UWP is not detected, you will have to initialize it first. You can do this from the Plugins menu in Mozilla.
Mozilla 52 builds
You can try activating Unity in Mozilla 52 builds (32-bit). Not every PC user knows about this feature.
Instructions for activating the corresponding extension will look like this:
- In the address bar of the browser, type the command about: config.
- Press Enter.
- Put a check mark next to "I confirm" and click on the "Login" button.
- In the list that appears, right-click on the parameter area.
- Hover over Create.
- Click on the line "Logical".
- Type plugin.load_flash_only.
- Click on "OK" and specify the False parameter in the next window.
- Double-click to activate "Plugin.Load_Flash_Only".
- Restart the Mozilla.
This trick should work. If it doesn’t help, it’s best to download the default Unity Web Player-enabled browser.
Enabling NPAPI in Chrome
But what if the user is working with Chrome? Unity Web Player on Google Chrome has been supported with restrictions since 2015. If you wish, you can try to activate NPAPI support in your Internet browser.
The algorithm of actions under such circumstances will be as follows:
- Write in the address bar chrome: // flags / # enable-npapi.
- Click on the "Enable" hyperlink next to the corresponding block.
- Click on the "Restart" command.
- Go to chrome: // plugins and check "Always On" next to the Unity app.
- Enable the option if it is disabled.
Usually this technique helps, but more and more often it turns out to be useless. As already mentioned, software developers are trying to get away from Unity and Flash Player.
Yandex and UWP
Unity Web Player for Yandex is difficult to find. You can try to enable NPAIPI in Yandex.Browser, after which Unity will work. Nevertheless, hoping for a 100% result is not recommended.
The process of activating NPAPI in Yandex is reduced to the following manipulations:
- Go to browser: // flags / # enable-npapi.
- Click on Enable.
- Check the "Run always" section.
- Restart your web browser.
Important: among the suggested tips, the use of browsers with UWP support by default and the work with older versions of Web browsers are notable for their effectiveness.
