Live chess not working on chromium

Sort:
chosmo

Title + I tried both full size and simple board. It loads the main screen but then I can't load any game (be either to watch or to play).

Browser Info:

  • Chromium Version 39.0.2171.65 (64-bit)
  • Google Chrome's Pepper Flash plugin for Chromium 1:15.0.0.223-2

Chromium browser mostly works for me on my up-to-date Ubuntu 14.04 system. I say "mostly" because it does not support Java anymore. A few features require Java, such as "Finish game vs Computer". But in general it plays well. I do NOT have the Pepper plug-in, maybe try disabling it? Else .... Firefox.

Apparently I don't have a java plugin:

Chrome PDF Viewer
Chromoting Viewer
Native Client
Adobe Flash Player Version: 15.0.0.223
Shockwave Flash 15.0 r0
 
chosmo

And as BryantPark said, it doesn't support Java anymore, so I guess I'll have to use firefox, didn't know chess.com required java.:

Chrome and Linux

Starting with Chrome version 35, NPAPI (Netscape Plug-in API) support was removed for the Linux platform. For more information, see Chrome and NPAPI (blog.chromium.org).

Firefox is the recommended browser for Java on Linux.


 

Thanks, I hope they add support again in the near future.
