    Correct. I’ve never used banking apps in the first place anyway. If my bank doesnt have a functional website then I would change banks.

    And i say this not to be difficult or contrarian. I just really hate using apps for every business in existence and simply refuse to do so. Yes I have absolutely sacrificed convenience on many occasions due to this principal.

      Very good. I don’t like using apps for every little shitty website like discord or WebEx either.

      Just know that this is a step forward in the direction of making it technically possible to force people to usw the app. Ask yourself if you trust them to not try and profit from this.

        I disagree. There is nothing stopping that as it is. What this really does is remove one more level of control from the end user on their device.

        Im not sure what you are getting at here. Of course i don’t trust “them”. Nor do i trust any corp. It’s those reasons among others why i have completely removed google from my computing life and almost exclusively use open source software as well as self host functionally all network services.

          That is exactly what I meant with that. Less control for you means more control for the banks/app creators.

          I myself also want to let go of the likes of Google. It’s a pretty bumpy ride, but better than a future where the Tech Bros are in control.
