As browsers remove support for NPAPI (Netscape Plugin API) this will
cease to work. Plugins like Google Earth will cease to work. Google
have removed NPAPI from Chrome for Linux. In December of 2015 it will
be gone for other platforms as well. I do not know what plans other
browsers have WRT NPAPI. NPAPI seems a PITA in terms of stability.

Funny that I am just noticing this, but has Google stopped supplying the Earth plugin for Linux? Or am I remembering incorrectly and there never was one? I do tend to use the program as it allows larger files than the plugin. But I will be enhancing some software that we have that generates KML files and was wanting to explore the KML samples at https://kml-samples.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/interactive/index.html and saw the message.
It's available here: http://www.google.com/earth/download/ge/agree.html
However, Google Earth on Linux has been broken for quite some time, regardless whether you use the plugin from Google or or the official openSuSE one.
