...

  • Apple Safari: How to disable the Java web plug-in in Safari
  • Mozilla Firefox: How to turn off Java applets
  • Google Chrome: See the "Disable specific plug-ins" section of the Chrome Plug-ins documentation.
  • Microsoft Internet Explorer (may or may not work, depending on the individual website you visit): Change the value of the UseJava2IExplorer registry key to 0. Depending on the versions of Windows and the Java plug-in, the key can be found in these locations:** HKLM\Software\JavaSoft\Java Plug-in{version}\UseJava2IExplorer
    • HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\JavaSoft\Java Plug-in{version}\UseJava2IExplorer
    • The Java Control Panel (javacpl.exe) does not reliably configure the Java plug-in for Internet Explorer. Instead of editing the registry, it is possible to run javacpl.exe as Administrator, navigate to the Advanced tab, Default Java for browsers, and use the space bar to de-select the Microsoft Internet Explorer option.
