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

NPAPI was required to enable Java applets, but since 24th of November 2014, NPAPI was disabled by default.

ChromeVersion

Since April 2015 NPAPI plugins were unpublished from Chrome Web Store.

Between this period you could enable it in settings:

But currently it’s not possible anymore, so you cannot just download Java for Chrome and make it running.

So as I mentioned nowadays you should use little tricks…

Chrome

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

Install Java For Chrome on Windows

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.

You should confirm that you want to run Java detection application.

and see that Java is running.

Not native Java support, but it’s better than nothing.

Install Java For Chrome on MacOs and Linux

Tab IT plugin doesn’t support MacOs and Linux, that’s why we gonna use Test IE plugin.

Install Older Version Of Chrome

The problem is you have to pay, but they give you a free trial to test.

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:

Then it will ask you: “do you really want to run Java detection application?”. Press “Run”.

And at the end, it will say that your current Java version is 8 Update 151.

That means, Java is running and you can use whatever you want.

In this post I will explain how you can identify which generation of Chromecast you have and how you tell the difference.

The Google Chromecast is a small electronic device that let you steam online video to your TV from your smartphone, tablet or laptop using wi-fi. You simply attach the device on the back of your TV, using a HDMI and a USB port. It was first released in 2013 and have been improved over the years. The smart thing about the Chromecast is that you only have to start the video from your phone/tablet and can then, turn off the screen, meaning that you will not drain your phone/tablet for power while watching a movie/video. You can use Google Chromecast to cast video from streaming services like, Netflix, YouTube, HBO, Plex, Spotify, Vevo etc. For more information about Chromecast click here.

How to check my chrome version

Chromecast Ultra

Chromecast Ultra is featured with upgraded hardware that supported streaming of 4K resolution content. Google has stated that the Chromecast Ultra loads video 1.8 times faster than previous models. Unlike previous models the Ultra version can’t be powered through a USB port. The Chromecast Ultra requires the use of the included power supply for connecting to a wall outlet. The power supply also offers an Ethernet port for a wired connection to accommodate the fast network speeds needed to stream 4K content. Be aware that the Chromecast Ultra cost almost double the price of the other models of Chromecast.

How to Identify Chromecast version

The easiest way to identify your model, is to look on the back of your Chromecast device. Here you can find your model and look in the table above to see what version you have. In the case below it is a Chromecast Audio (Model: RUX-J42).

Which Chromecast should you buy in 2020?

Well, that all depend on your needs. If you just want to listen to Music, it is obviously a Chromecast Audio. If you want to stream 4K, it is only the Chromecast Ultra that is up for the task. If you don’t have a 4K TV and don’t plan to buy one anytime soon, you can just go for the cheaper 3rd generation Chromecast. 1st and 2nd generation is no longer available for sale.

Chromecast in the future

Google has, as far as I know, not announced any plans for a new generation of Chromecast in the near future. With Google Chromecast 3rd release back in October 2018 you would think that it soon will be time for a new generation to keep up with technology of streaming trends. We will have to wait and see of Google will announce an update later this year.
