Yes it will run in Chrome,… but it needs to be the correct version.
EDIT: See Jon’s comments:
I think it uses JavaScript, not Java. So you need to enable Javascript, and WebGL.
WebGL
- Open the “settings” page, via the menu (or navigate to
chrome://settings) - scroll to the bottom,
- click “Show Advanced Settings”,
- scroll to the bottom to the “System” section
- be sure “use hardware acceleration when available” is checked
I’m not sure how JavaScript would get disabled in Chrome.
You can check the chrome://flags page to see if there are any abnormal settings.
Or look through the various pages listed at:
chrome://chrome-urls/
… for some setting where JavaScript has been switched off.
