Use Google Chrome With Java Applet
An entirely new open source web browser was introduced last week by Google and this is no news if you have been using Google home page to do your searches. If you happen to miss the obvious text link under the classic Google search box on their home page, this is the link to download Google Chrome 
If you were like me, you must have downloaded this exciting browser and explored all the Chrome features listed in their ‘sales pitch’ page and easy-to-read comic book.
The only thing I find lacking is that Chrome is unable to load Java Applet application in the browser. Hence, you will not be able to log into several commercial sites especially if their login is powered by the applet empire. Luckily, we can workaround this problem easily
To overcome this issue, you have to download and install the beta version of JRE (Java Runtime Environment). Only this beta version contains support to WebKit, the engine that drives the Google Chrome. You can download the JRE here (JRE6u10 for windows).
PS: Personally, I would hold on to Chrome at the moment until the stable version… at least till their plugin capability is available.

I wondered about this when I first loaded something with Java in chrome. I installed the beta Java and it’s working so far. I like chrome but I’m waiting for it to have more interface added. though it’s really the lack of bookmarks management that bugs me. I like opera as well, but no matter what I like to use I have to keep going back to Firefox for my favorite extensions. and i noticed Chrome has spell check. Gotta say this is the best beta software EVER! they thought it out well and made it so clean and responsive. In heaven I bet Microsoft programs this clean. The newer K-meleon is nice too. The only problem I have with Firefox is how much slower it can be with the extensions I like to use, not to mention the pain I feel at losing a favorite to incompatibility with a new version of Firefox. If it weren’t for the extensions I love to use so much, even with imperfections, I’d stick to whatever was faster. I’m hoping Chrome will continue with adding parts from other browser tech. I dream of finally having one browser that has all the features I like from each of the others. One might even mitigate feature bloat problems by allowing parts to be turned off similar to how you can disable an extension in Firefox so it doesn’t even load when you don’t want it, yet it’s there if you do.
