Why Brave Browser is Not Displaying YouTube

In recent times, several popular web browsers have dropped support for Java Applet due to security concerns. Among them is the Brave browser, which no longer supports YouTube videos that require Java Applet to function properly. This article will explore why this happened and what users can do to resolve the issue.

The reason behind dropping support for Java Applet lies in its potential risks and vulnerabilities. Oracle's JDK, which is responsible for maintaining Java, has also stopped providing Java browser plugins in newer versions. As a result, most well-known browsers have discontinued their support for Java Applet, including Brave.

Brave, like other browsers, relies on the NPAPI (Netscape Plugin Application Programming Interface) to function properly. However, due to security concerns, NPAPI has been deprecated, making it impossible for browsers to run Java Applets seamlessly.

To access YouTube videos that require Java Applet support, users need a browser that still supports this technology. Fortunately, Internet Explorer is one such browser that still maintains compatibility with Java Applet.

In conclusion, Brave Browser's inability to display YouTube videos requiring Java Applet support is due to the security concerns and risks associated with this technology. As an alternative, users can switch to Internet Explorer or other browsers that continue to support Java Applet.
