    @beyblade904  You can use Explorer 11 in Win 10 by going to control panel - programs and features - turn Windows features on or off and enable Explorer 11. Chrome does not support Java - you need to add an extension for Java to work in Chrome. Same with newer versions of Firefox. Pale moon is a Firefox like browser and works with Java upon install. For Edge to work with Java you need to use group editor but if you have Windows 10 Home version you don't have group editor. Disabling Java started with Windows 10 and was disabled in previous versions of Windows through updates. HTTPS shouldn't be an issue. Google uses HTTPS so if Google works then your browser knows HTTPS. Try https://google.com and if Google comes up then your the browser you are using knows HTTPS. There are still many managed switches, routers, and other devices that require Java to communicate .There is nothing wrong with this equipment other then requiring Java. Many sites are requiring you use a particular browser (Edge). I use a Mozilla based (Firefox) called Nightly. It has a console and was 64 bit before Firefox although supported by the same company. The game uses APIs in the default browser so if the site needs Java the default browser needs to support Java. You get the message do you want to make (browser) your default.

@beyblade904 Java is no longer supported by these late browsers (Edge and Firefox) because the Java language is considered unsecure. Windows Explorer 11works and should be installed you just have to find it. Last time I used a browser called Pale Moon it supported Java. You can edit group policy for Edge but you need Windows Pro edition for group editor. Microsoft is retiring Windows Explorer soon (June 15, 2022) so MS may remove Explorer through updates. Pale Moon still supports Java. I have switches and routers that use Java.

    Hi @roberta591 I'll post a picture of the test deal and the developer console on Chrome. I tried using Explorer, however the same issues I had with Chrome and Edge were still apparent. I do believe that Java does have some major issue to do with it, but I also believe that it might also have to do with HTTPS. When originally look through the developer console I discovered a blog post within it titled, "No More Mixed Messages About HTTPS" by the Chromium Blog. I thought I would try to look into another offer today, and was unable to find that original blog, however I was able to find a Chrome Platform Status titled, "Feature: Intervention: Blocking the load of cross-origin, parser-blocking scripts inserted via document.write for users on 2G". I don't know if these two documents will ultimately help, for I am not a coder and have little to no knowledge on the subject, but hopefully someone smarter than I can evaluate whether or not these pieces of information are useful.

    To those trying to help sort out this issue, I thank you for your time and energy, Stay Safe and Well,
