chrome can use their dominant market position to kill all other competing browsers, then they can use their monopoly to kill addons and extensions they don’t like, slow down or break webpages which go against their interests, and so on.

google having a near-complete monopoly on the web scares me more than most issues in tech

you’re misinterpreting that list, it is not exhaustive - it’s a list of banking apps which someone has tried and updated the list. the lack of a specific country or bank on that list doesn’t mean it doesn’t work, it means nobody has tested it, or nobody has added it to the list, at least

The bank doesn’t need to manually support GrapheneOS, the app just needs to behave appropriately - which, as you can see from that list, the overwhelming majority of them do.

If my bank stops supporting it, then I will move banks. But I doubt it will ever really become an issue.

i’m a person with bills to pay, but if i paid those bills by endangering people, i’d be a bad person.

corporations exist to protect people from the financial and legal repercussions of their business activity.

they should not exist, and so, I will celebrate if Mozilla goes into bankruptcy.

we do not need them. control of firefox should be in the hands of a not-for-profit group, not a company.

FWIW, banking apps work fine on GrapheneOS.

GrapheneOS is pretty good, as a more private alternative to Android, though the downside is that it’s only available for Pixel phones. I bought a used one on ebay.

It sounds like a bullshit excuse, to me.

If they wanted to cover their ass, they could have changed their ToS any number of different ways than what they went with.

Let’s not be naïve. All corporations are the enemy, including Mozilla.

google does this kinda shit on purpose to reinforce their market position

i’m not an expert by any means, but from what i understand, most symmetric key and hashing cryptography will probably be fine, but asymmetric-key cryptography will be where the problems are. lots of stuff uses asymmetric-key cryptography, like https for example.

can’t wait to have to explain the difference between asymmetric-key and symmetric-key cryptography to my friends!
