The Java plugin is part of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and allows a browser to work with the Java platform to run Java applets to execute in the browser.

The Java plugin is enabled in a large number of browsers around the world and this makes it a target for malicious hackers. Any popular third-party plugin is subjected to the same kind of unwanted attention. The team behind Java have always taken security seriously and they will endeavor to quickly release an update to patch any serious security vulnerabilities found. This means the best way to minimize problems with the Java plugin is to make sure it is up-to-date with the latest release.

If you are really worried about the security of the Java plugin but still need to visit a popular website (e.g., online banking in some countries) that need the Java plugin enabled, then consider the two browser trick. You can use one browser (e.g., Internet Explorer) only when you want to use the websites using the Java plugin. For the rest of the time use another browser, (e.g., Firefox) with the Java plugin disabled.

Alternatively, you might find that you don't go to websites that use Java very often. In this case, you may prefer the option of disabling and enabling the Java plugin as needed. The instructions below will help you to set up your browser to disable (or enable) the Java plugin.

To turn on/turn off Java applets in the Firefox browser:

• Select Tools -> Add-ons from the menu toolbar.
• The Add-ons Manager window appears. Click on Plugins on the left-hand side.

Pre-requisite: Java Tutorials

This article is about the support of Java on browsers.

Why we need the support of Java on a browser?

If you learned or have some knowledge or have worked in Java then it is likely that you must have come across this concept of Java Applet . So, an Applet is nothing but a Java program but the only difference is that it cannot directly run on a standalone machine. It needs a web browser to run. It is easily embedded within an HTML page and is a client-side concept i.e. runs on client-side.

So, to run Applet, we need a Java-enabled browser. Browsers come with a Java plugin that allows the execution of an Applet on it. And so, the browsers that come to Java enabled, can run Applet without any hassle.

So, now that we know why we need browser support for Java, let’s start with the list of browsers that support it today.

Browser that supports Java: Browsers require Java plugin which depends on NPAPI (Netscape Plugin Application Programming Interface) . Today, the majority of the well-known browsers have dropped the support for that.

Here are browsers that do not support Java Applet any more :

• Google Chrome
• Microsoft Edge

So, as you can see that all these browsers not longer support Applet. Even the newer versions of Oracle’s JDK does not come with the support of the Java browser plugin.

The reason for dropping the support was because of security issues and risks that were found.

But there is Internet Explorer that still has the support for Java Applet . So, today Internet Explorer is the only browser that supports Java Applet.

How to enable Java in Internet Explorer? Following are the steps to enable Java on Internet Explorer:

• Click on the ‘ Tools ’ icon on the top right corner of the window or press Alt+X , if on windows.

Note: There is another way if you still want to run Applet and security is not a concern and if you don’t want to use Internet Explorer, then you download an older version of any browser that did support Java Applet .

Cannot enable Java in Safari (or any other browser) in OS X

I have the following running on my Mac:

• OSX Yosemite (10.10.2)
• Java version 8 update 31
• Safari 8.0.4

I am unable to run any Java applet on Safari. I have added multiple sites to the exception lists (in System Preferences -> Java Control Panel -> Security), but it has not changed anything.

I also don't see anything related to Java in Safari preferences:

When I try to run a Java applet, it says, Error. Click for details. , and when I do, this is what I get:

I've tried Chrome and Firefox as well, and this is the common error they give me:

Whatever I do, I cannot allow for Java applets to be run on any browser.

• google-chrome

• Did you try adding 140.113.239.214 to the exception list under System Preferences -> Java -> Security ? –  Erikster Mar 18, 2015 at 23:12
• Didn't work. It asked me permission to run it, I said ok, and then it didn't load again. It says Error, click for details again. But this time, the error is NullPointerException : There was an error while executing the application. Click "Details" for more information. –  sodiumnitrate Mar 18, 2015 at 23:42
• 1 Huh. NullPointerException sounds like an issue with the actual Java program you're trying to run. Do you have an IT group you can contact? –  Erikster Mar 18, 2015 at 23:44
• Ok, tried it with another java applet from another site. It worked, but safari keeps on crashing. Works perfectly well with chrome, though. –  sodiumnitrate Mar 19, 2015 at 0:05
• To Safari, Java counts as a plug-in. So you may need to click the "Website Settings…" button for plug-ins, find Java in the list of plug-ins, and add websites to the whitelist. –  Spiff Mar 19, 2015 at 0:48

How to Enable Java in Chrome and Other Browsers

• Azhrioun Abderrahim • Nov 4, 2020 • java • 4 mins read

In this short tutorial, we’re going to shed light on how to enable Java in Chrome browser . Then, we’ll explain in detail how to accomplish the same thing in other browsers.

We’ll use Windows 10 in this tutorial, so make sure to read how to install Java on Windows 10 first.

Without further ado, let’s get started!

Why it’s Important to Enable Java in Browsers

By default, Java is not enabled in web browsers even if it’s already installed on your machine.

So, in order to run Java applets on your browser, you need to turn it on first.

Bear in mind that you need to check Java updates frequently to make sure that your Java version is up-to-date with the latest release. That way, you can avoid security-related problems.

How to Enable Java in Chrome

NPAPI was a great choice to use to activate Java in Chrome. Unfortunately, the latest versions of Google Chrome have abandoned NPAPI and disabled its support.

Chrome browser versions 42 and above. Starting with Chrome version 42 (released April 2015), Chrome has disabled the standard way in which browsers support plugins. https://java.com/en/download/help/enable_browser.html

However, technology has taught us that there is always a workaround! Right?

Today, the most convenient way to make Java enabled is to use the IE Tab Chrome extension! So, let’s see how we can make use of IE Tab to enable Java in Chrome.

First thing first, we need to install the IE Tab extension on our Chrome browser .

Once the installation is completed, we need to navigate to the IE Tab extension and click on it. The click will allow us to download a small program named: ietabhelper , a helper executable file required by IE Tab to do its job.

Next, we have to run ietabhelper.exe . Lastly, we can click the E icon to open an IE Tab (it uses the Internet Explorer engine to support Java).

Now, we can type any URL that contains Java content in the IE Tab.

How to Allow Java in Internet Explorer

Enabling Java in Internet Explorer is pretty simple. All you need to do is follow these instructions:

Open Internet Explorer browser

Click on Tools and then choose to Internet Options

Navigate to the Security tab, and select the Custom level button

Scroll down until you find Scripting of Java applets

Make sure the Enable radio button is checked

Click OK to apply your changes

How to Enable Java in Firefox

If you’re wondering if we can turn on Java in the Firefox browser, then the short answer is NO and the long answer is YES :)

Many browsers including Firefox have disabled NPAPI-based plugins support (which is required to run Java). The new versions of Firefox - from 52.0 Release - supports only the Flash Player Plugin from Adobe.

So, the only workaround here is to install an old version that still supports NPAPI. However, this can lead to security issues and may put your machine at risk.

To enable Java in old Firefox versions, you can follow the following steps:

Click on the Menu button

Select Add-Ons

Choose Plugins

Search for the Java Platform that you have installed

Make sure to select Always Activate or Ask to Activate to enable Java

How to Turn on Java in Safari

Safari has followed the steps of Chrome and other browsers and removed support for running legacy NPAPI plugins. This is why Safari 12 no longer supports Java content.

However, if you want to enable Java, for one reason or another, in old Safari versions, you can follow these steps:

Navigate to the Safari menu

Select Preferences

Click the Security option ( You can find it at the top of the window)

Choose Allow Plug-ins

Choose Allow Always for the Java item

Click Done to save your changes

Enable Java in Opera

Yet again, disabling and enabling the Java plugin in the Opera browser is simple and straightforward:

Type opera:plugins in the address bar type and hit enter

Navigate to the installed plugins

Scroll down and click on Enable to turn on Java

That’s all folks, we have explained how to enable Java in Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, and Opera. We have highlighted IE Tab Chrome extension as one of the workarounds that we can use to enable Java.

We have seen that the latest releases of the browsers disabled NPAPI based plugins for security reasons.

How to Enable JavaScript on Apple Safari (iPad, iPhone iOS)

Are you having a hard time in trying to turn on JavaScript on your iPad or Apple iPhone device?

JavaScript has evolved into an essential tool that makes the web what it is today. It controls the dynamic elements of web pages, and most websites will fail to run correctly if your Apple Safari browser does not have its JavaScript enabled. Although disabling JavaScript offers browsers faster loading of a website, you should know that it reduces the overall browsing experience on your iPad or iPhone device.

Be it an iPhone 11, iPhone 10 or MacOS device, the steps in this guide will help you learn the simple process and benefits of enabling the JavaScript feature on your Safari browser.

What Is JavaScript and Why Do I Need It?

JavaScript is a type of code used by web developers to install and establish interactive content on websites – in essence, it allows web pages to dynamically load and send content in the background without page loads on your Apple Safari browser. Generally, JavaScript is used by modern websites to provide various features such as display advertisements – the reason why a small subset of internet users want it disabled.

However, disabling the JavaScript feature on your Safari web browser is much more of a hassle than it seems. If you turn off JavaScript on your browser, many websites won’t function properly. In most cases, you will also be unable to enjoy certain functions or view content that you are accustomed to accessing on JavaScript-based websites.

Apple Safari comes built-in with a JavaScript engine that makes website elements interactive. And while it isn't actually necessary that you enable it to use your Safari browser, it's something that you'll perhaps want to do to enjoy a seamless browsing experience. Otherwise, many websites you visit will appear broken or won't even work.

JavaScript is enabled by default in Apple Safari, but you can verify if yours is active through the Safari tab. To do this, simply click on "Safari" at the top left of your screen to expand the Menu. Next, click on Preferences to reveal the Safari Preferences section. Now that you're in the Preferences section, find and click the "Security" tab to access the "Enable JavaScript" checkbox. If the checkbox has a tick symbol, it means JavaScript is active and working.

Millions of websites use JavaScript to display interactive elements, such as animations, special effects and more. If you browse them with JavaScript disabled in your Apple Safari, then you probably won't have the full experience that you normally would. Some JavaScript-based websites may appear dull or static, while others may not even work at all.

Enabling Java to interact with the filesystem in Safari running on MacOS

Question & answer.

How can I enable Java in Safari to load the IBM Daeja ViewONE Applet, and also to permit saving of files to the MacOS filesystem?

Java security restrictions, unless changed, prevent applets from loading, and also from having write access to the OSX filesystem

Safari's configuration must be changed to permit websites to run Java applets, and secondly to allow Java to interact with the file system (eg, to save a redacted document). To enable Java on Safari on OSX: Safari • Click on Safari and select Preferences • Choose the Security option • Select Allow Plug-ins, then click on Manage Website Settings • Click on the Java item, select an option (Ask, Allow or Allow Always) from the pulldown list When visiting other websites • Click Done, then close the Safari Preferences window When attempting to save a file to the OSX filesystem if the appropriate changes have not been made you receive an error message reading “Operation not permitted”.  To avoid this message, the website that is running the applet must be trusted. To trust an applet on a website, follow the steps below: • Go to Safari > Preferences. • Click the “Security” tab, then click the “Manage Website Settings…” button. • You will see the list of websites you have visited that use the Java web plug-in. • Select the website you would like to trust. • In the drop down next to the website, choose the option “Run in Unsafe Mode“. This allows the Internet plug-in to load and display its content completely without malware safety checks. Choosing Run in Unsafe Mode may present a security risk, so only select this option on websites you trust. • A dialog will be displayed to ask you to confirm that you would like to trust the website. Choose “Confirm”.
