How to Disable Java in the Chrome Browser

Oracle has published yet another update over the weekend to address some critical vulnerabilities. If you are fed up with all these critical updates, you can completely disable Java content in the browser by using  the Java Control Panel. However, there are still quite a few legitimate web sites that require Java. If you disable Java in the browser, you won’t be able to visit those sites anymore.

Since I use Chrome most of the time, I decided to disable Java in the Chrome browser. That way, if I needed to visit Java-enabled websites, I could use a different browser like IE instead. Here is how you disable Java in the Chrome browser.

  1. Enter chrome://plugins in the address bar and press enter.
  2. Scroll down and find the Java Plug-in.
    chrome-disable-java
  3. Click on Disable to disable the Java Plug-in.
  4. Close Chrome and Open it up again.
