how do I stop getting the "install java update popup even after I download
MacBook Air (2018 or later)
Always update Java from System Preferences simply by clicking on the Java icon located toward the bottom of the System preferences pane. If you download or update any other way it can cause issues like the one you are having.

If the pop-up reloads, force quit Safari (command - option/alt - esc) and reopen with the shift key held down. If that doesn't work, disconnect from the Internet, go to Safari/History and delete the website. Quit and reopen with the shift key held down. Then reconnect to the Internet.
