Wrong Browser

[PolkadotpjPlayer]

Wrong Browser and operating system I am running windows 10 with IE11 browser. I have installed the latest version of Java.  The compatability scan shows chrome browser and Microsoft edge. How do I fix this. I have tried stopping edge but it will not go away. Java is enabled in my computer also. I want to run IE 11 and Windows 10.

@PolkadotpjPlayer     This is from the Pogo FAQs with the link following:

You can play Pogo games using Windows 10 and the Internet Explorer or Firefox browsers.

You can play Pogo games using Windows 10. However, the Edge browser included with it only supports Flash games. 

To play Java games on Pogo, you can switch your browser to Internet Explorer 11, or download and install the Firefox browser.

Here’s how to change your browser from Edge to Internet Explorer 11 in windows 10:

1. Click on the Windows logo or press the Windows key on your keyboard.
2. Choose Settings, then System, Default Apps, Web Browser .
3. Click on Edge, and a Choose an Application window will open.
4. Click on Internet Explorer. This will set it as the default browser on your computer.

I refuse to let Pogo dictate my browser. I am used to Firefox, and will not change. Maybe Pogo needs to change to all flash instead of flash and java. Java sucks! Always has been a problem.

Since Flash is on its way out* it would be a waste of resources to convert the Java games to a format that will be obsolete in a few years.

* Chrome has already started the process of blocking Flash. Beginning with Chrome version 55 we must actively change our browser setting to allow sites to run Flash. Click on this link for more information: Chrome 55+ and Flash

Chrome and Firefox no longer support Java.

At this time IE11 is the only browser supported by Pogo that plays all the games, Flash, Java and HTLM5

There are a few unsupported browsers that work also:
Firefox 52 ESR Click here for the download
Pale Moon Click here for the download

Unsupported mean that they will work, but, if you have a problem, Pogo will not be able to trouble shoot it.

ETA:  If you do decide to use either of the above linked browsers make sure to select the 32 bit version instead of the 64 bit version.

I've downloaded the Pale Moon browser and I really like it, it runs all of the games on Pogo and works a lot like Firefox.  I haven't tried the Firefox 52 ESR browser

Disclaimer:  I do not work for EA/Pogo, Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or Pale Moon, I'm simply providing feedback based on my own personal experience.

Unsupported browser? What does that mean? Pogo or browser? Who supports who???

[paperman79]

Is IE11 the same as Edge?

[Just4FunThisTyme]

@paperman79

It means that if you use an unsupported browser and have problems with it Pogo will not be able to troubleshoot.   Currently the only browser that's is fully supported by Pogo is IE11.

No, they are two separate browsers. If you have Windows 10,  the Edge and IE11 browsers are both included,  IE11 supports Java, Edge does not. For more information click on this link: Windows 10 Info
