I'm considering getting an app but I see it depends on Java. I'm reading the Java consumer version's license to say that it also installs third-party software on my computer, which I suspect may be adware. I see posts referring to such in the past but don't have first-hand knowledge.
¿Does anyone know if it's safe to install Java on a Mac these days, where safe means it only installs Java and is as safe from bugs as any software is these days?
