The Xara Plugin was a vector graphics viewer, using a proprietary low bandwidth format. It launched a beta and later full release in 1996, being able to view Flare files made with CORELXara on the web. Later in 1997 Xara Webster was launched to specifically make the web graphics for the plugin. In 1999, 2.08a was the last version released. In 2000, Xara Webster was replaced by XaraX which could export to Flash, another vector plugin, so support for their own proprietary option was dropped, and it was relegated to the legacy software archive.
