Sudo mv /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/ugin /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/disabled If you wish to use an older version that will work (not recommended due to security issues) you can follow these steps, assuming you still have java 6 installed: (summarised below) sudo mkdir -p /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/disabled The Chrome/Chromium developers have a bug to show progress, although actual work seems to have stalled for some reason.: Java 7 is 64 bit only, and as such requires a 64 bit browser. Currently, on a 64-bit Mac (such as >=10.8) with Java 7 you cannot use Java Applets in Chrome.
