I use Chrome's version that is up to date and I trust that sandbox more than any other browser.

No java. No point.

No, for bypassing a mechanism that prevents infections.

As I recall, neither are included by default anymore - I believe you have to download both?

Adobe and Oracle are also guilty.

They suck at maintaining their applications.

They could also be pushing updates through the Mac App Store instead of having to play "guess and check".

99% of windows infections come from the same as well... Java and flash are the bane of all OS's
