NOTE: Chrome and Firefox functionality with Java is slightly crippled as Google and Mozilla respectively have disabled the Java-APP auto-start functionality.
Both browsers can still be used with the DOL Java application though. The application will not start automatically. You just need to click an icon to start, first.
If you desire more information about this or need more information on using or installing Java on your PC/Laptop, please refer to Appendix 1.

Google has decided to go for the Java 'flavour' Kotlin in future Android development, and has not supported 'real' Java (from Sun/Oracle) for some time. In reality, the reasons behind both Apple and Googles decisions shall most probably be found in the fact that this is due to the 'Clashes of Titans', three (Sun/Oracle, Apple, Google) very large IT Companies who does not want to put any money or glory into the pockets of their competitors. ↩
