When I log on to some websites, I see the question "Do you want to add Plug-Ins?", so, what are "Plug-Ins"?

plugins are ad-dons that inhibit use of certain video flash player such adobe flash player and many more it also is used by java for some of their programs functions. anyway if you are having problems with a plugin simply go ogle that plugin and search for updates on software if this does not fix your issue then simply reinstall the browser you are having difficulty with then reinstall those drivers and this should fix your issue have a good day.
Warning thoe some shady sites use plugins or the false impression of a plugin to insert virus onto your computer if a video site forces you to a video player then does not allow you to leave via back then i suggest do not download it and if the video seems shady to you then it probably is.so be careful.

Some websites are using technologies for play content that requires special players. This players are in format of "plugin", that is needed if you want to see this content.

Little programs that will be added to your browser to use what's on the site. If you trust the site, you can add them. If you aren't sure, don't.
