So, if you run only Safari or Firefox, PPAPI is not necessary for you. That is the reason why you see two Flash plug-in versions, NPAPI and PPAPI, on the Adobe website. Consequently, Chromium-based browsers (like Opera and Vivaldi) also use PPAPI, although initially it was supported only by Google Chrome and Chromium. In 2009, Google developed PPAPI (Pepper Plug-in API) for the Chrome web browser with an intention to make plug-ins more secure and portable. For instance, Safari and Firefox (and any other browser based on Mozilla Firefox code) use it for Adobe Flash Player. The latter are not in use anymore, but NPAPI has been adopted by other browsers. The first letter stands for Netscape since this API was initially developed for Netscape browsers.
