Requiring the use of their own app is only marginally better than not supporting it at all. I try to minimize the number of apps pn my phone, and banking apps are prime examples of a use case that can be completely fulfilled in a browser. Even if I used the app, I would prefer to be prompted for non-biomotric MFA each time I sign in anyway.
Google allows any app with the “Contacts” permission to upload all your text-conversations to their server, according to the ToS thing I read on Google.com sometime ago…
Apparently that page no-longer exists? or isn’t findable…
Yeah I can respect that, I have one bank where the only account I have there is a credit card now that I paid off my loan. Their app is terrible and half the time it doesn’t load on my home network because of all my ad and tracking blocking on my DNS server. I just want to check balances, you assholes. So yeah that one is strictly browser only for me.

I want machiavellianism KILLED from our economy, not allowed-to-rule-it.
Not going to happen in my lifetime, obviously…
