Chrome ends support for Java
A tool for web developpers, to get rid of HTML upload limitation

Hi Etienne,
What's the impact of Google disabling Chrome's Java plug-in as from next month? I'm guessing this means jupload will no longer work after Chrome 45? Is there any alternative way of running it from Chrome?

I have no solution here...
Perhaps Oracle will develop a java plugin based on PPAPI instead of NPAPI. But it's more a hope than a fact. I found nothing about this on the web, out of this page, which confirms your message:

The only clue here is to move to Firefox, Internet Explorer or something else..

True but Chrome is currently 49% of all browsers and still growing (as Firefox continues to decline). Since most people don't know how to turn off Google Update a lot of people are going to be affected by Google's action :-(
