The Arch-supported OpenJDK 9 package does not install a Java NPAPI browser plugin. The extra package "icedtea-web" provides a Java browser plugin for OpenJDK (and doesn't appear to crash qt5 webkit programs).
Oh wow, that again.

This is... arguably a bug in the jre package's inclusion of broken stuff, but I don't really expect that AUR maintainer to make the sensible call there... one more reason why people should stick with the tried-and-tested packages in the official repos. Including broken java web plugins is sort of questionable judgment.
