    If it ever does support java, I would hope to have pref in General tab to disable loading java content!

      That's true CD does not support Java but it's not intentionally not supporting it.
      It's because QtWebKit itself does not support loading it:

      From the: http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/QWebSettings.html

      QWebSettings::JavaEnabled   2   Enables or disables Java applets. 
                                          Currently Java applets are not supported
      

      However, I don't mind at all if there is no Java applet support they are so 1995 and huge security risk today according to security researchers.

    Thanks for confirming.

    I respect that applets are performant, but I consider them to pose an significant vulnerability vector.
