Sorry but I only use Mozilla Firefox. Why don't you give the people the choice of Java? Than say never.

Hello rebels01,

I totally understand your disappointment .....

If you only need Java to play Pogo games, you could use the portable Firefox 52.9.0 ESR - it will not interfere with your
Firefox release version and profile :

Would that be an option for you  ? At least you'd be able to play your favorite games ....

Never. Java (and other plugins) are a huge issue and most popular internet browsers discontinued support for them long ago.

Internet Explorer 11, which probably is available on Windows 8.1, still runs Java games. Have you tried it?

Even Oracle has been in process of discounting their ever vulnerable Java Plugin for a long time as it is not with Java 9.
