    YouTube requires Flash Player, not Java. I have no Java whatsoever on this computer and YouTube plays fine. If I disable Flash, YouTube does not function.

    There is a Java plug-in the Chrome FAQ says is recommended as not all sites will function properly without it.

    As unstable and insecure as Java is, I wouldn't touch it.
