Has anyone dealt with enabling plugins in Chrome since Google disabled them in Chrome 42?

We have a number of applications that still require plugins for Chrome (Java, among others) and would like to have them turned on by default. This is possible by going to chrome://flags and enabling NPAPI plugins, but it would be nice to have a way to push this out to clients.

This might help - but it's only buying you until September when that's no longer an option. We're going the route of telling users to use Safari if their plugins aren't working because they'll have to do that come September anyway (unless you don't upgrade Chrome).

Fix for Macs (Takes care of Java and Citrix):
Save this to /Library/Preferences/com.google.Chrome.plist
