Author of the blog post here! If you comment with corrections/milestones I missed, I'll try to incorporate them

I'll also be attempting to update the augmented browsing/browser extension Wikipedia page in the coming weeks

That's a very cool bit of history! Adding it to my list of references/updates to make to the blog post

Not an expert on this part, but I'd imagine that problem isn't having an API, it's more that running native executables is the problem if you can't sandbox them or limit their resource consumption. Also, relative to running Javascript, their base resource utilization per tab is significantly worse (especially for Java or .NET-based ones that have a base resource utilization from the VM)

The safety/stability issue comes from the fact that plug-ins (e.g., NPAPI) are native executables

Browsers started dropping support for plug-ins around 2015. However, plug-ins actually held on longer than you might think. Firefox didn't completely drop support for Flash until the beginning of this year
