Just disable the Oracle one under chrome://plugins (you may have to go show advanced) <div class="gmail_quote">On Nov 1, 2012 10:10 PM, "Kevin O'Gorman" <<a href="mailto:kogorman@gmail.com">kogorman@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> I've got a fresh install of Xubuntu 12.04.1, and a desire to run the applet at <a href="http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/games/rect.html" target="_blank">http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/games/rect.html</a> (it plays the game of Chomp with you). In firefox, it had to load a plugin. No sweat, it uses the icedtea-7-plugin package from the repo. In chrome, it wanted to load not only a plugin, but it wanted to load the Oracle JVM, from Oracle; I escaped when it opened 4 tabs of advertisements and offered to give me McAfee malware tools. I don't really want two JVMs just to play this game. I don't want to be pestered with ads and Windows software.
