I checked and Java is already disabled on my computer..I have read several articles about this and am considering uninstalling Java completely.
I put Java in search and clicked on news for more information.

I have programs and web sites that are dependent on Java (as opposed to Javascript).

My ISP email in html-mode, for example, requires Java (as opposed to Javascript).

The installation of one version of Firefox (I forget which, with their rapid-release insanity, but that is a different rant) popped up a message that I needed to install/update Java (as opposed to Javascript). It may have been one of the add-ons that needed it, but the message was via the Firefox browser.

I can’t play POGO Scrabble anymore. It needs JAVA. I was probably spending way too much time beating their robots anyway. . .

I have no idea, I am not that computer literate. I did uninstall it from my computer and its speed seemed to increase, but I don’t know for sure if it did. Maybe it just seems that way.
