Oracle has just given you another reason not to install Java on your Mac

  I thought they'd been doing that for years on windows installs...

  Click bait blog spam. The Mac installer will now optionally install the Ask toolbar, the same as it always has on Windows. You're still free to opt out of it at install. Yes, it's annoying and rude of Oracle, but not unusual.

  Haven't had Java installed on any on my Macs for at least 5 years. I don't miss it at all.

  I really dislike Java trashing articles. For sure, don't enable Java in web browsers unless you really need it, but Java itself is very useful given languages like Clojure and Scala that run on the JVM. When installing Java it has always been very clear how to avoid the 3rd party stuff.
