Custom ROMs have had just about enough of being Android's second-class citizens (www.androidauthority.com)

TL;DR

  • Efforts like Graphene OS face increasing pressure from apps that refuse to run on non-standard Android.
  • The custom ROM project characterizes Google’s approach to device attestation as incomplete and flawed.
  • Graphene OS is prepared to take legal action if Google won’t let it pass Play Integrity checks.

I've been tired of "modern" security doing nothing but annoy people. Recently, a Portuguese bank "innovated" by exclusively allowing login only on a mobile device. Yes, a clean web browser with 3FA is not "secure" enough, has to be done on a mobile device. Clearly, desktop PCs are too insecure to conduct transactions.

Therefore, because one does not trust their mobile device. One simply spun up a clean Pixel VM, shared my data with Google and just did their work there. Peak security.

They are steamrolling usability for elder people with that kind of security measures. I can't understand how they can get away with this, those bastards.

Goddamn technology stealing black jobs

I would close my bank account if they did that and move my money to a better bank. I don't do financial stuff on mobile phones.
