Alternative of Microsoft silverlight on ubuntu

Question

I've tried installing Moonlight and failed miserably and moonlight is not actively developed.so i was hoping you guys could help me out here with another alternative.

The browser i'm currently using is google chrome, if that helps and i'm running Ubuntu 14.04. Thank you

Answer 1

install pipelight instead:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pipelight/stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install pipelight
sudo pipelight-plugin --update
sudo pipelight-plugin --enable silverlight

Answer 2

Install pipelight instead (revisited):

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pipelight/stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --install-recommends pipelight pipelight-multi
sudo pipelight-plugin --update

Restart Firefox, Chromium or whatever... Then:

sudo pipelight-plugin --create-mozilla-plugins

To enable the plugin (in Firefox):

about:addons

or

sudo pipelight-plugin --enable silverlight
