maybe the plugin system wasn't that bad of a concept for video players and such, but it should be more limited and especially secured in any way possible

I mean, you can write a plugin to support arbitrary subtitle format.

You can create an ass to css converter if you're crazy enough and render it over the video, or convert it to vtt on the fly if you only care about basic support.

I was meaning NPAPI plugins, to replace the whole video player element. I don't think any modern browsers still support it, but it's a bit funny that VLC's installer on Windows still offers installing its plugin
