Question re Java

[Guest]

Apparently, some web design features require Java. I also understand that MS
no longer supports Java.

I am reluctant to install yet another huge program on my computer. Is there
a compelling reason to install Java? What am I missing out on? I am not into
gaming or exotic web features. Mostly surfing the web for information.

Is Java a security problem, similar to MS Active X?

Can someone provide some insight in the need for Java?

Well. What problems are you having now that you think Java will solve?
Please be specific.
