Microsoft Silverlight

Microsoft Silverlight is a cross-browser and cross-platform plug-in for delivering .NET based media and rich application experiences to users on the Internet, released on September 5, 2007. Like an Adobe Flash file, Microsoft Silverlight files are stored in a compressed XAP (pronounced like zap) file. You only need to install Silverlight if a website you visit requires the plug-in.

Microsoft ended support for Silverlight on October 12, 2021.
