I developed a web site www.poologic.com that depends on a couple of Java applets (Poologic Calculator and ROI Calculator).

The web site has become increasingly user unfriendly and hard to use due the Oracle's efforts to address security and the fact that applets are going out of style.  (I developed the applets in 1999, maybe they were going out of style already back then, but I did not notice it till more recently.) 

I am trying to figure out what to do.

1. Try to get them certified.  But that costs and does not solve the problem of browsers and tablets that don't have support.  I suppose I could live with support in limited browsers, but I am not sure how to figure out which browsers will continue to support Java.

2. Learn javascript and rewrite them in javascript.  Time consuming.

3. Use some technology that compiles them in javascript or use a JVM written in java script.  I just started looking into this, not sure how feasible and practical it is.  Not sure which technology to pursue.

4. Leave the applets as-is and continue to make users jump through hoops to use the the unsigned applets.  But Oracle or all browser may ban unsigned applets.

No sure which way to go.  Anyone solved the same problem or have any insight on this problem?

Is there a browser that is likely to support applets long-term?
