I have been searching but I get the mixed up answers with Java and Javascript. Basically I am wondering if Unity3D lets me make games with Java? I want to make browser based games, not android.

I'm not sure how familiar you are with C# or JavaScript, but I can assure you if you're comfortable with Java, C# and JavaScript shouldn't be very hard to adjust to. However, I personally prefer C# when it comes to Unity: I find most code-related questions are answered using (or referring to) C#, and JavaScript doesn't really feel right to me outside of Web Development. – Artorias2718 Jan 25 '19 at 15:52

Also, Unity can build browser-compatible games using WebGL: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/webgl-building.html – Artorias2718 Jan 25 '19 at 15:56

Currently unity3d doesn't support java.
According to unity3d website.
Scripting with Unity brings you fast iteration and execution and the strength and flexibility of a world-leading programming environment. Scripting is uncluttered, straightforward and incredibly fast. In Unity, you write simple behavior scripts in JavaScript, C# or Boo. All three languages are easy to use and run on the Open Source .NET platform, Mono, with rapid compilation times.

In Unity, you write simple behavior scripts in C# or JavaScript (UnityScript). Both languages are easy to use and run on the integrated scripting runtimes.

As stated above, Unity as of now don't support java coding.
For Java, libGDX is the best option: http://libgdx.badlogicgames.com/
Though Unity has better support and documentation, libGDX is also really powerful.
Clash of the Olympians is a popular game made with libGDX https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ironhide.games.clashoftheolympians
