## Does the Dynamic Web TWAIN SDK use any deprecated technologies like NPAPI or ActiveX?

Dynamic Web TWAIN no longer uses NPAPI. ActiveX support was removed starting in v19.0 (see the [Removed Features](/_articles/info/schedule/Stable.md#removed-features){:target="_blank"} in the release notes).

We added HTML5 support long before Chrome dropped NPAPI, so web scanning remains supported without deprecated tech. Customers should migrate off ActiveX; modern versions require the HTML5 edition.
