How to Enable JavaScript on Apple Safari (iPad, iPhone iOS)

Are you having a hard time in trying to turn on JavaScript on your iPad or Apple iPhone device?

JavaScript has evolved into an essential tool that makes the web what it is today. It controls the dynamic elements of web pages, and most websites will fail to run correctly if your Apple Safari browser does not have its JavaScript enabled. Although disabling JavaScript offers browsers faster loading of a website, you should know that it reduces the overall browsing experience on your iPad or iPhone device.

Be it an iPhone 11, iPhone 10 or MacOS device, the steps in this guide will help you learn the simple process and benefits of enabling the JavaScript feature on your Safari browser.

Instructions for Web Developers

You may want to consider linking to this site, to educate any script-disabled users on how to enable JavaScript in six most commonly used browsers. You are free to use the code below and modify it according to your needs.

On enablejavascript.io we optimize the script-disabled user experience as much as we can:

• The instructions for your browser are put at the top of the page
• All the images are inlined, full-size, for easy perusing

We want your visitors to have JavaScript enabled just as much as you do!

What Is JavaScript and Why Do I Need It?

JavaScript is a type of code used by web developers to install and establish interactive content on websites – in essence, it allows web pages to dynamically load and send content in the background without page loads on your Apple Safari browser. Generally, JavaScript is used by modern websites to provide various features such as display advertisements – the reason why a small subset of internet users want it disabled.

However, disabling the JavaScript feature on your Safari web browser is much more of a hassle than it seems. If you turn off JavaScript on your browser, many websites won’t function properly. In most cases, you will also be unable to enjoy certain functions or view content that you are accustomed to accessing on JavaScript-based websites.

Cannot enable Java in Safari (or any other browser) in OS X

I have the following running on my Mac:

• OSX Yosemite (10.10.2)
• Java version 8 update 31
• Safari 8.0.4

I am unable to run any Java applet on Safari. I have added multiple sites to the exception lists (in System Preferences -> Java Control Panel -> Security), but it has not changed anything.

I also don't see anything related to Java in Safari preferences:

When I try to run a Java applet, it says, Error. Click for details. , and when I do, this is what I get:

I've tried Chrome and Firefox as well, and this is the common error they give me:

Whatever I do, I cannot allow for Java applets to be run on any browser.

• google-chrome

• Did you try adding 140.113.239.214 to the exception list under System Preferences -> Java -> Security ? –  Erikster Mar 18, 2015 at 23:12
• Didn't work. It asked me permission to run it, I said ok, and then it didn't load again. It says Error, click for details again. But this time, the error is NullPointerException : There was an error while executing the application. Click "Details" for more information. –  sodiumnitrate Mar 18, 2015 at 23:42
• 1 Huh. NullPointerException sounds like an issue with the actual Java program you're trying to run. Do you have an IT group you can contact? –  Erikster Mar 18, 2015 at 23:44
• Ok, tried it with another java applet from another site. It worked, but safari keeps on crashing. Works perfectly well with chrome, though. –  sodiumnitrate Mar 19, 2015 at 0:05
• To Safari, Java counts as a plug-in. So you may need to click the "Website Settings…" button for plug-ins, find Java in the list of plug-ins, and add websites to the whitelist. –  Spiff Mar 19, 2015 at 0:48

Enabling Java to interact with the filesystem in Safari running on MacOS

Question & answer.

How can I enable Java in Safari to load the IBM Daeja ViewONE Applet, and also to permit saving of files to the MacOS filesystem?

Java security restrictions, unless changed, prevent applets from loading, and also from having write access to the OSX filesystem

Safari's configuration must be changed to permit websites to run Java applets, and secondly to allow Java to interact with the file system (eg, to save a redacted document). To enable Java on Safari on OSX: Safari • Click on Safari and select Preferences • Choose the Security option • Select Allow Plug-ins, then click on Manage Website Settings • Click on the Java item, select an option (Ask, Allow or Allow Always) from the pulldown list When visiting other websites • Click Done, then close the Safari Preferences window When attempting to save a file to the OSX filesystem if the appropriate changes have not been made you receive an error message reading “Operation not permitted”.  To avoid this message, the website that is running the applet must be trusted. To trust an applet on a website, follow the steps below: • Go to Safari > Preferences. • Click the “Security” tab, then click the “Manage Website Settings…” button. • You will see the list of websites you have visited that use the Java web plug-in. • Select the website you would like to trust. • In the drop down next to the website, choose the option “Run in Unsafe Mode“. This allows the Internet plug-in to load and display its content completely without malware safety checks. Choosing Run in Unsafe Mode may present a security risk, so only select this option on websites you trust. • A dialog will be displayed to ask you to confirm that you would like to trust the website. Choose “Confirm”.

Disabling (or Enabling) the Java Plugin in a Browser

• Java Programming
• PHP Programming
• Javascript Programming
• Delphi Programming
• C & C++ Programming
• Ruby Programming
• Visual Basic
• M.A., Advanced Information Systems, University of Glasgow

The Java plugin is part of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and allows a browser to work with the Java platform to run Java applets to execute in the browser.

The Java plugin is enabled in a large number of browsers around the world and this makes it a target for malicious hackers. Any popular third-party plugin is subjected to the same kind of unwanted attention. The team behind Java have always taken security seriously and they will endeavor to quickly release an update to patch any serious security vulnerabilities found. This means the best way to minimize problems with the Java plugin is to make sure it is up-to-date with the latest release.

If you are really worried about the security of the Java plugin but still need to visit a popular website (e.g., online banking in some countries) that need the Java plugin enabled, then consider the two browser trick. You can use one browser (e.g., Internet Explorer) only when you want to use the websites using the Java plugin. For the rest of the time use another browser, (e.g., Firefox) with the Java plugin disabled.

Alternatively, you might find that you don't go to websites that use Java very often. In this case, you may prefer the option of disabling and enabling the Java plugin as needed. The instructions below will help you to set up your browser to disable (or enable) the Java plugin.

To turn on/turn off Java applets in the Firefox browser:

• Select Tools -> Add-ons from the menu toolbar.
• The Add-ons Manager window appears. Click on Plugins on the left-hand side.
• In the list on the right select, the Java Plugin - the name of the plugin will vary depending on whether you are a Mac OS X or Windows user. On the Mac, it will be called Java Plug-in 2 for NPAPI Browsers or Java Applet Plug-in (depending on the operating system version). On Windows, it will be called Java (TM) Platform .
• The button to the right of the selected plugin can be used to enable or disable the plugin.

Internet Explorer

To enable/disable Java in the Internet Explorer browser:

• Select Tools -> Internet Options from the menu toolbar.
• Click on the Security tab.
• Click on the Custom level.. button.
• In the Security Settings window scroll down the list until you see Scripting of Java applets.
• Java applets are Enabled or Disabled depending on which radio button is checked. Click on the option you want and then click OK to save the change.

To enable/disable Java in the Safari browser:

• Select Safari -> Preferences from the menu toolbar.
• In the preferences, window click on the Security icon.
• Make sure the Enable Java checkbox is checked if you want Java enabled or unchecked if you want it disabled.
• Close the preferences window and the change will be saved.

To turn on/turn off Java applets in the Chrome browser:

• Click on the wrench icon to the right of the address bar and choose Settings .
• At the bottom click the link called Show advanced settings...
• Under the Privacy, section click on Content settings...
• Scroll down to the Plug-ins section and click on Disable individual plug-ins .
• Look for the Java plugin and click on the Disable link to turn off or the Enable link to turn on.

To enable/disable the Java plugin in the Opera browser:

• In the address bar type in "opera:plugins" and hit enter. This will display all the installed plugins.

How to Enable Java in Chrome and Other Browsers

• Azhwani • Nov 4, 2020 • java • 4 mins read

In this short tutorial, we’re going to shed light on how to enable Java in Chrome browser . Then, we’ll explain in detail how to accomplish the same thing in other browsers.

We’ll use Windows 10 in this tutorial, so make sure to read how to install Java on Windows 10 first.

Without further ado, let’s get started!

Why it’s Important to Enable Java in Browsers

By default, Java is not enabled in web browsers even if it’s already installed on your machine.

So, in order to run Java applets on your browser, you need to turn it on first.

Bear in mind that you need to check Java updates frequently to make sure that your Java version is up-to-date with the latest release. That way, you can avoid security-related problems.

How to Enable Java in Chrome

NPAPI was a great choice to use to activate Java in Chrome. Unfortunately, the latest versions of Google Chrome have abandoned NPAPI and disabled its support.

Chrome browser versions 42 and above. Starting with Chrome version 42 (released April 2015), Chrome has disabled the standard way in which browsers support plugins. https://java.com/en/download/help/enable_browser.html

However, technology has taught us that there is always a workaround! Right?

Today, the most convenient way to make Java enabled is to use the IE Tab Chrome extension! So, let’s see how we can make use of IE Tab to enable Java in Chrome.

First thing first, we need to install the IE Tab extension on our Chrome browser .

Once the installation is completed, we need to navigate to the IE Tab extension and click on it. The click will allow us to download a small program named: ietabhelper , a helper executable file required by IE Tab to do its job.

Next, we have to run ietabhelper.exe . Lastly, we can click the E icon to open an IE Tab (it uses the Internet Explorer engine to support Java).

Now, we can type any URL that contains Java content in the IE Tab.

How to Allow Java in Internet Explorer

Enabling Java in Internet Explorer is pretty simple. All you need to do is follow these instructions:

Open Internet Explorer browser

Click on Tools and then choose to Internet Options

Navigate to the Security tab, and select the Custom level button

Scroll down until you find Scripting of Java applets

Make sure the Enable radio button is checked

Click OK to apply your changes

How to Enable Java in Firefox

If you’re wondering if we can turn on Java in the Firefox browser, then the short answer is NO and the long answer is YES :)

Many browsers including Firefox have disabled NPAPI-based plugins support (which is required to run Java). The new versions of Firefox - from 52.0 Release - supports only the Flash Player Plugin from Adobe.

So, the only workaround here is to install an old version that still supports NPAPI. However, this can lead to security issues and may put your machine at risk.

To enable Java in old Firefox versions, you can follow the following steps:

Click on the Menu button

Select Add-Ons

Choose Plugins

Search for the Java Platform that you have installed

Make sure to select Always Activate or Ask to Activate to enable Java

How to Turn on Java in Safari

Safari has followed the steps of Chrome and other browsers and removed support for running legacy NPAPI plugins. This is why Safari 12 no longer supports Java content.

However, if you want to enable Java, for one reason or another, in old Safari versions, you can follow these steps:

Navigate to the Safari menu

Select Preferences

Click the Security option ( You can find it at the top of the window)

Choose Allow Plug-ins

Choose Allow Always for the Java item

Click Done to save your changes

Enable Java in Opera

Yet again, disabling and enabling the Java plugin in the Opera browser is simple and straightforward:

Type opera:plugins in the address bar type and hit enter

Navigate to the installed plugins

Scroll down and click on Enable to turn on Java

That’s all folks, we have explained how to enable Java in Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, and Opera. We have highlighted IE Tab Chrome extension as one of the workarounds that we can use to enable Java.

We have seen that the latest releases of the browsers disabled NPAPI based plugins for security reasons.

Thanks for reading! Have a nice day!

Java is a programming language and not something that can be "turned on" in Safari.

Poisonous Potato Update

The (s)mashing update you always asked for!

Imagine being a potato. Now imagine being the potato’s less popular sibling who didn’t inherit the tuber-licious looks the rest of your family possesses. What’s worse is – you're facing the impossible decision of what to do with all this starch? Since neither French fries nor couch potato sat right with you, there's only one option remaining. Congratulations friend, you’re a poisonous potato. 

For years, Minecraft’s own toxic tuber has been neglected and underappreciated, lacking both purpose and usefulness. For years, you – the community – tried to highlight this, working tirelessly to bring it to our attention and literally begging us for more functionality. As of today, your concerns are a thing of the past. 

Mojang Studios is proud to release our most well-boiled update to date that will add so much usability to the poisonous potato that even tater-haters will become devoted spud-buds. The Poisonous Potato Update – rich in both carbs AND features! You asked. We delivered. Or maybe you didn’t ask, but we delivered anyway? In any case, it is HERE! 

GET THE SNAPSHOT UPDATE 

Snapshots are available for Minecraft: Java Edition. To install the snapshot, open up the Minecraft Launcher and enable snapshots in the "Installations" tab. You can even play the snapshot on your own Java Realms together with your friends! 

Remember, snapshots can corrupt your world, so please back up your world and/or run the snapshot in a different folder from your main worlds.

Poisonous potato add-on.

The roots of the poisonous potato run deep within Minecraft and extends far beyond Java Edition. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that the tuber-lar sensation has spread its influence to Bedrock Edition as well. With Jigarbov’s Poisonous Potato add-on , you’ll be able to experience the joy of the poisonous potato the way it was always intended – through blocks and furniture to weapons and armor.
