>all of them being a horrible one

Silverlight was nice, pity it got discontinued.

Lets not forget it was actually the platform for Windows Phone 7, existed as alternative to WinRT on Windows 8.x, only got effectively killed on Windows 10.

Thus it isn't as if the browser plugins story is directly responsible for its demise.

It wasn't nice for Linux. I remember having to run a windows vm just to watch netflix in a browser back when their player was silverlight.
