A few days ago we brought you word that Google was looking to crack down on “sideloaded” Android applications. That is, software packages installed from outside of the mobile operating …
I don’t understand why you’d have to do that? I have literally zero Google interaction and I don’t have to custom build something. And I access my banks (plural) in browser only.
De-googling will break banking apps, since most baking apps rely on Play Integrity checks and bootloader status.
Then don’t use the apps? Do your banking through the browser.
What a pompous and clueless suggestion. Some modern internet banks are app-olny.
Good luck with your revolution where 10 people are able to participate.
Don’t use those banks then.
Yes, let me build my life around a fucking ROM lmao.

In my comment above I mentioned that some banks are App-only, you cannot access your funds though the website.
You can switch banks you know, it’s not convenient but easier than switching your email.
You’re forced to use that bank?
No, but switching banks just because I want to be a part of “the resistance”, against google is pretty delusional.
Bank apps aren’t the only thing that relies on “play integrity”.
I feel like this isnt always true. I had a GrapheneOS pixel for a while and it never had problems with banking apps
GrapheneOS, so far, is Pixel-only. Degoogled, yes, but you’re still giving your money to Google, and a lot of it.
Buy used
Device is paid for, even if you buy from a re-seller (of any sort)
