Plug-ins are computer programs that extend the standard functionality of the browser.
Plug-ins were designed to be used for many different purposes:
Warning !
Most browsers no longer support Java Applets and Plug-ins.
ActiveX controls are no longer supported in any browsers.
The support for Shockwave Flash has also been turned off in modern browsers.
The <object>
element is supported by all browsers.
The <object>
element defines an embedded object within an HTML document.
It was designed to embed plug-ins (like Java applets, PDF readers, and Flash Players) in web pages, but can also be used to include HTML in HTML:
Example:
HTML
<object width="100%" height="500px" data="snippet.html"></object>
Example:
HTML
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<object width="100%" height="500px" data="snippet.html"></object>
</body>
</html>
You can view your image by using object Element.

<body>
<object data="https://horje.com/avatar.png"></object>
</body>
</html>
The <embed>
element is supported in all major browsers.
The <embed>
element also defines an embedded object within an HTML document.
Web browsers have supported the <embed> element for a long time. However, it has not been a part of the HTML specification before HTML5.

Example:
HTML
<!DOCTYPE html>

<body>
<embed src="https://horje.com/avatar.png">
</body>
</html>
