Chrome blocks Java by default, declares it a plug-in that's "not widely used"

Does anyone know the statistics on how widely Java is used for client-side stuff on the web?<p>I get the feeling that Flash, JavaScript, and even Silverlight are used far more often today (client-side).<p>One notable exception is Wikipedia, which uses Java to play its Ogg Vorbis (audio) files in browsers without native Ogg Vorbis support. But that's just a stop-gap measure to fix a deficiency in older browsers.
