No, and in fact, Java should be completely uninstalled. 99/100 people never use it for anything, browser or otherwise. The small percentage that does can just reinstall it as needed, as Java is a free download.
Uninstall it, completely, and the next time this article is posted (with the dates changed and little else), you'll be glad it has nothing to do with you.
- eropple 14y agoI would bet that more than 1% of people who use their computers for work purposes use WebEx. Java client.
- mark-r 14y agoOK, WebEx is a counter-example that I've heard of and used. Is there a version that doesn't require Java?
- Florin_Andrei 14y agoMinecraft players are currently staring at you, frowning.
- outworlder 14y agoThey should just use the standalone version then. I see no reason one would prefer to play inside a browser.
- RobAtticus 14y agoThe poster he's replying to said 99% of people don't need Java AT ALL. Not just the browser.
- Florin_Andrei 14y agoExactly.
- tquai 14y agoHow many? The population of the Internet is almost 3 billion.

- chc 14y agoBy that thinking, you should completely uninstall anything that is not necessary to run Internet Explorer or Microsoft Office. If you actually do novel things with your computer from time to time, you are likely to run into Java sooner or later. If you run the same three programs all the time, sure, ruthlessly uninstall everything else. Even on a desktop where I am not currently using any Java apps, I see no reason to go out of my way to uninstall it if it's already there. It isn't hurting me, and installing it is enough of a pain that avoiding that hassle is a win.
