How To Enable Java
If you don't have the latest Java VM,
you should install or upgrade from Oracle
Java site.
Browser Support:
Most modern web browsers have
dropped support for Java claiming that
it is insecure, and thanks to changes
that they have made to their browsers
that is probably now true. By giving scripts
more permission to track users and create
advertising profiles, their browsers may
no longer be what they used to be.
Since the beginning of the web, Java has
always been the safest and most advanced
programming language, which is why it
has been the preferred choice for games
across all operating systems. Technically,
it could do no harm because it was always
sandboxed and restricted from accessing
system files.
As to whether you install and enable
Java should be your decision.
ArtisBrowser, Pale Moon, Chrome 41 and
earlier and Firefox 51 and earlier still
support Java, providing that you enable
its use in your computer settings.
Install ArtisBrowser
Need a web browser that still does support
Java? Install
the ArtisBrowser.
To Enable Java On Your Computer:
- Go to Control Panel > Java
- Click on the Security tab
- Tick the box for "Enable Java
for browser and WebStart applications"
- Set security level for High (not Very
High)
To Enable Java In Your Browser Settings:
- From your browser's tool
bar select Addons then
Plugins
- Look for Java Deployment
Toolkit
- Select "Always Activate"
or "Ask to Activate"
Security Prompts:
You may be prompted for permission to
continue more than once, depending on
the security allowed, before the applet
will be allowed to load and display its
content.
Note:
If you have enabled Java and are still
being returned to this page, you may have
to clear cache or restart your browser.
Expiration:
Of late Java Applets are required to
be code-signed, but that is not good enough
for some browser makers, because although
code-signing should be good for life,
browser makers will no longer accept code-signing
older than 12 months. So if you do come
across an applet with expired code-signing,
please notify the site owner by using
their contact form.
