Netflix: BPF is a new type of software we use to run Linux apps securely in the kernel A Netflix performance architect says BPF promises a fundamental change to a 50-year-old kernel model.

But it never truly caught on as a way to run software on PCs, either in browsers or as standalone software. With Java's low usage and high risk, Jagex is smart to move beyond it.

Although, due to the lack of NPAPI support, Java applets stopped working in Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, and other Chromium-based browsers, you can still install and run Java on Windows 11 PCs.
