In computing, a plug-in, or plugin, is a set of software components which adds specific abilities to a larger software application. If supported, plug-ins enable customizing the functionality of an application. For example, plug-ins are commonly used in web browsers to play video, scan for viruses, and display new file types. Well-known plug-ins examples include Adobe Flash Player, QuickTime, and Microsoft Silverlight. Add-on, or addon, in computing is often considered the general term comprising snap-ins, plug-ins, extensions, and themes for software applications.
