Java sucks
Every time there is a Java update it tries to change my web browser homepage to yahoo.com.
I have to physically click the "don't change my default browser homepage", or whatever it is called, else it will change my settings without my consent.
This type of action should never take place and this type of action should be illegal.
What do you think? Has the Java update changed your default settings?

That kind of stuff happens so often I check my start up and internet options often. One of two times it's changed and has to be reset. I'm used to doing that now

I deal with that a lot as an IT consultant. Java has caused so many headaches that Chrome no longer supports it. There are still a few websites that require it, so customers also have to keep Internet Explorer available for those. Pain in the ass.
Note that they aren't the only ones that do that though, you just have be to vigilant whenever you're installing anything now-a-days.

Agree, so do I. It just sucks so bad that we have to be on the alert for unexpected changes to our computer from seemingly "friendly" software updates. Most of us on this forum are knowledgeable about this and know how to handle this situation. Some of my recording friends are not as computer savvy as those of us on this forum. They accidently enable these changes because they think they are doing the right thing. When they discover changes to their computer they call me I have to go to their house and "fix" their computer. I don't mind helping my friends, but it is such an aggravating waste of time caused by java's irresponsible practice of attempting to push their settings onto unsuspecting users.

Right at the start there is an option for the yahoo stuff, and it's 2 check marks, the last I noticed, one of which changes the main page. However, I have not had this issue at all in my computers.

 In order, then, to discover the limit of deepest tones, it is necessary not only to produce very violent agitations in the air but to give these the form of simple pendular vibrations. - Hermann von Helmholtz, predicting the role of the electric bassist in 1877.

I'm starting to wonder if the problem is ... Adobe ... not the Java code itself. And that the problem might just be all its talking back to Adobe telling it that it needs an upgrade and what not. I always thought that stuff like that meant an "open connection" that makes for a computer that can be hit a little easier ... but the number of "Java Updates" has dropped considerably in the past 6 months for me, and I have a feeling that Adobe knows it.

Java does OK for my Kindle Oasis.
It's not just Java. EVERYTHING wants to update too often and run their own little autoupdate processes. It's a battle keeping all of this unwanted **** turned off so you can actually use your PC. I have AU turned off for everything, still hanging on to 8.1 ...
