Java Applets are no longer working in Linux

September 24, 2014 · Admin Linux Ubuntu 14.04 Java Applets Chrome

NPAPI support was dropped in Chrome version 35 introduced in Spring 2014. One of the consequences is that Java Applets running with IcedTea no longer works. Upgrading to Ubuntu 14.04 install the newest version of Chrome. You then lose the ability to run IcedTea in Chrome. The only alternative I have found is using Firefox.
