Java & browsers (Google Chrome)

[learninmypc]

I had a thread here about google chrome cookies & finally dumped google chrome because of that.
Looong story short, since I've been using SeaMonkey & Firefox portable versions exclusively,
I decided to try GC portable.
I've had no problem with cookies, but as with ALL my other browsers java IS disabled. Yet in GC, I just found out this morning I NEED java enabled to access my yahoo in GC yet not so in SeaMonkey or Firefox. WHY? Why can I access in yahoo with out java in Firefox & SeaMonkey but not GC?
To access gmail in GC I had to paste the gmail link into the EXceptions area in the privacy settings/java area. Yes, I'm confused Thanks in advanced

I guess it'll remain a mystery, thanks & Seasons Greetings

Hmm; Google Chrome accessing www.yahoo.com runs on my Win/7 Pro.

Accessing http://java.com/en/download/installed.jsp asks to verify Java is installed, but Yahoo runs w/o it.

What symptom do you see suggesting Java is a) not installed or b) not enabled?

I've got java but its my understanding its supposed to be disabled due to the possibility of hackers. So, in SeaMonkey & Firefox is it disabled yet I have no problem anyplace unless I try this link http://trackermap.kingcounty.gov/tracker-map-launch.jsp
So why is that not true using Google Chrome?
Ok, I'm going to put this thread on hold because I just got my 2nd hand W7 & want to get it set up.
BTW, ALL browsers I've mentioned are the PORTABLE APPS versions.

I try this link http://trackermap.kingcounty.gov/tracker-map-launch.jsp

That URL loads a Java Applet and thus Java must be installed and active.

GC Properly (imo) prompts to allow the Applet to run or not

Yes, I used to have java enabled in all browser but then I read some place in here java should be disabled so I did so.
In GC, I'd have to go into Setting>Show Advanced settings> & under Privacy, go into Conent settings & paste the url in there & ok my way out.
But, I'm now on my (new to me) W7 pc & most likely won't be using that XP because of this https://www.techspot.com/community/topics/problem-rebooting-my-xp-pro-mce.187556/
I'm waiting to hear from my friend before I come in here to get this W7 set up for me.
I do thank you for your input thou & wish you a Merry Christmas

Ok, I've installed the portable version of Google Chrome & I'm on my W7 Home Premium & still cannot use the NEW yahoo mail with java disabled.
Yet with java disabled in SeaMonkey & Firefox, no problem.
When I tried to access http://www.kirotv.com/s/news/live/ with java disabled, it would not let me until I pasted that URL in the java exceptions area.
Now I suppose if I turned java on, I could access everthing but till I hear its safe, I'm not going to.
