I'm not sure I want Java 8. I put two Web sites in Java's whitelist. With Java 7, however, I nevertheless have the annoyance that those Web sites still require manual OKs to run unsigned Java applications. Supposedly, those applications will be blocked with Java 8 without any option to run the applications. These are two Web sites that are apparently no longer being updated, both of which have unsigned Java applications. -- David E.
