Removing browser Plugins using IObit Uninstaller
IObit Uninstaller is one program that displays all browsers plugins in one place, you can easily remove unwanted plugins like Java, Flash and Silverlight.
All Browser Plug-ins tab groups plugins and displays them as two types: plug-ins recommended to remove and Trusted Plug-ins. How IObit Uninstaller recommends some plugins to remove and some to keep?. Program recommends some to remove is based on low user ratings may contain undesirable functions. It is surprise that Chrome PDF Viewer and Native Client are recommended on my machine, which we don’t advice you to do so.
You can select either specific browser tab or All Browser Plug-ins tab and select any plug-in that you found unnecessary and remove it by selecting Remove from right click menu (check the screenshot below).

For a specific browser, you can restore their default settings.
