I don't almost see plugins anymore, but I don't like browser deciding for me what can I consume on the internet.
especially the unity player thing sucks. I know many indie that have a game demo delivered this way (i.e. http://dinopoloclub.com/minimetro/ ) adn it's a quick, cheap way for them to get an audience (who'd install exes from random guys off the internet anymore?)
