Does Chrome support Java? Using Java in Chrome is a little bit tricky at this moment.

So as I mentioned nowadays you should use little tricks…

But first of all, you need to install Java on your PC.

How to use Java with Chrome steps:

Install IE Tab chrome extension (it emulates Internet Explorer under your Chrome browser and allows to run Java and Silverlight).
You’ll find its icon “e” in the right top corner. Click it and follow installation steps (run ietabhelper.exe).

After that, a new tab will be opened and you’ll be allowed to use new IE Tab search line.

Verify Java version here https://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp

Press a “Verify Java version” button.

So when you activate this Chrome extension you will be redirected to a homepage:

Press a FREE TRIAL in the top right corner and register.

Then you’ll be redirected to a list of available OS and browsers.

I recommend taking FireFox under 52 version because FF after 52 partially supports Java.

After that FF browser will be opened on your tab.

Go to Java verification page to be sure that it’s running.

Press a button and browser will ask you to allow Java:

Sun Java Machine
