plugins page no longer exists with no explanation or redirect

Reported by megamec...@gmail.com, Apr 2 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/57.0.2987.133 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Goto chrome://plugins 
2. Get rejected
3. Swear at the chrome developers that somehow got dumber in 2016.

What is the expected behavior?
If chrome://plugins page is being deprecated it should have a redirect page to the new page, or an explanation of where it is going, or what is replacing it, or why it is no longer needed. So people don't go "Wtf?" but instead "Ah okay" or just "Screw you google!".
Just removing an expected function of the browser without telling anyone where it went is NOT okay. This is not professional. Removing the backspace button is not professional. Removing the security certificate information from the "Secure" button beside the address bar makes users less secure because some crack certification company could be assigning certificates and there's no way to quickly check.

What went wrong?
Google hired a crack development team. Literally, on crack.

Did this work before? Yes A few weeks ago? Last year? The plugins page literally worked until I downloaded latest version of chrome.

Chrome version: 57.0.2987.133  Channel: stable
OS Version: 6.3
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 25.0 r0

Stop being dumb. Thanks.
