• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

FYI...Google Chrome v Java

Got bit by this one last night. Tried to get online and my Chrome app didn't work(dead).
Did the re-boot/un-install/re-install thing, none of which worked.
O.K., back to "troubleshooting 101". Whats the last thing I messed with...Java update.
Used msn.com to get on Java's site and found this:
Java and Google Chrome BrowserThis article applies to:
Browser(s) Chrome
Chrome no longer supports NPAPI (technology required for Java applets)
The Java Plugin for web browsers relies on the cross-platform plugin architecture NPAPI, which had been supported by all major web browsers for over a decade. Google's Chrome version 45 and above have dropped support for NPAPI, and therefore Java Plugin do not work on these browsers anymore.

Java applications are offered through web browsers as either a web start application (which do not interact with the browser once they are launched) or as a Java applet (which might interact with the browser). This change does not affect Web Start applications, it only impacts applets.

Developers and System administrators looking for alternative ways to support users of Chrome should see this blog regarding Launching Web Start applications.

RELATED INFORMATION

NPAPI Plugin support discontinued

Google Chrome's Help Center was no help (ref."NPAPI Plugin support discontinued").
Since Java is used by just about everything internet/computer/device related it's important to keep it up dated. I'll be looking for a new web browser. If I have to, I'll go back to msn.com:censored:
Any suggestions other than Mozilla(firefox) would be welcome.

Chrome stopped using Java some time ago, but I rarely miss it. I also use Opera which is excellent and has a built-in VPN.
