Silverlight is also practically dead. Microsoft supports it in existing Browsers until 2021 or the end of Lifetime on the Browser whicever comes earlier.

 

Chrome dropped support for Silverlight in 42.

Internet Explorer supports it, the new Microsoftbrowser (Edge?) does not.

 

Situation in Linux I'm not sure . It was done via Moonlight earlier but this is dead since a while to my knowledge
