Native Client is a Google-created technology that allows developers to take C or C++ code and compile it to run in a web browser. You’re free to disable it if you like, but your browser wouldn’t be able to access such media files. This plug-in is only activated when you access a DRM-protected media stream that requires it - like Netflix, for example. The alternative is a plug-in like Adobe Flash or Microsoft Silverlight, where a large plug-in handles everything, from DRM to playback. But, in a practical sense, it’s certainly better to have a small plug-in handle the DRM while the browser handles the rest. This is controversial - which is why Mozilla Firefox resisted implementing it for so long. They allow a web page to require a small plug-in that handles the DRM. This is a result of the way HTML5’s “encrypted media extensions” (EME) work.
