not really.. one of the news media outlets that reported about the Java plugin being removed said in the first line of their article, "Now that Chrome, Firefox, Edge & Safari don't support plug-ins anymore...". the article later made a clarification.
all browsers support plugins. and almost all of them have their own plugins running including Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Mozilla. I don't know if this image will come through but they all use plugins, and some or all are making new controversial plugins <https://hacks.mozilla.org/2014/05/reconciling-mozillas-mission-and-w3c-eme/> for DRM content. i don't know but i think they might have been trying to intentionally get rid of plugins not just for traditional reasons but possibly for advertising and possibly to control online video piracy / DRM. read the article above. mozilla is actually against one of their own plugins (linked above) but included it anyway.
