Glad I'm not the only one. I was a Java dev for many years and also used it for private projects. When they started shipping unwanted malware together with Java was when I decided to remove Java from my toolset.

Would just like to say, OpenJDK is quite a solid step-in replacement for Oracle's Java: https://openjdk.java.net/
I've used it in production, I've built apps that I then _had to_ use Oracle's Java (without problem), using older and newer versions have been very stable - would very much recommend. I had one issue 8 years ago between versions, but nothing since.
