Google Chrome is one of the most widely used web browsers in the world, and it comes with a built-in feature that automatically disables Java content. However, there are still some websites and applications that require Java to function properly. In this article, we’ll show you how to enable Java in Chrome so that you can access these sites.

Step 1: Check if Java is installed

Before you begin, you need to check if Java is installed on your computer. To do this, open the Start menu and search for “Java.” If Java is already installed, you should see an icon for it in the search results. Click on the icon to open the Java Control Panel.

If Java is not installed, you can download it from the official Java website. Follow the instructions on the website to download and install Java on your computer.

Step 2: Enable Java in Chrome

Once Java is installed on your computer, you can enable it in Chrome by following these steps:

1. Open Chrome and click on the three vertical dots in the top right-hand corner of the screen.

2. Select “Settings” from the drop-down menu.

3. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on “Advanced.”

4. Under the “Privacy and security” section, click on “Content settings.”

5. Scroll down until you see the “JavaScript” section and click on it.

6. Turn on the toggle switch next to “Allow sites to run JavaScript.”

7. Scroll down to the “Additional Content Settings” section and click on “Flash.”

8. Turn on the toggle switch next to “Ask first (recommended).”

9. Under the “Flash” section, click on “Add” and enter the URL of the website that requires Java.

10. Click “Add” to add the website to the list of allowed sites.

11. Close the settings tab and restart Chrome for the changes to take effect.

Step 3: Test Java

To test if Java is now enabled in Chrome, you can visit a website that requires Java. If Java is enabled, the website should load without any issues. If Java is still not working, you may need to close and reopen Chrome or try clearing your cache and cookies.
