Java usage

Post by RonH »

Since my primary browser is Google Chrome plus the occasional use of Edge, do I need to keep the Java software on my W10 pc? Seems not but just checking with the experts. I do not use the old Internet Explorer browser and both Chrome and Edge 'do there own thing'.

I removed Java from my computer(s) many years ago, and haven't encountered a site that needs it for a long time.
So unless one of the sites you visit needs it, I'd say get rid of it. Java is riddled with security holes.
Best wishes,
Hans

All gone ... didn't realise it was still on my pc until Secunia prompted an update today.
Thanks Hans.
