The Chrome team says they're not going to pursue Web Integrity but...

it is piloting a new Android WebView Media Integrity API that’s “narrowly scoped, and only targets WebViews embedded in apps.”

They say its because the team "heard your feedback." I'm sure that's true, and I can wildly speculate that all the current anti-trust attention was a factor too.

Doing so on the desktop is easy enough. Getting rid of Android appears to be a much harder challenge, though.

[-] onlinepersona@programming.dev 49 points 2 years ago

Android is opensource. You can get phones that support ROMs like LineageOS (would recommend a FairPhone) or /e/ (godawful name, good ROM) for example - you can buy the Murena phone for this.

Linux phones are about 5 years away from mainstream usability, IMO.

I'm really looking forward to Linux phones. Have been for years. It's sad that Mozilla and Canonicals ventures didn't pan out because both had really fun ideas. Hell I say they had the right ideas, it just wasn't the right time.

Until banking apps except the use of custom ROMs it will be a major stumbling block to switching to them.

[-] qqq@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

I've never had an issue using banking apps from Lineage. I use 3 different pretty mainstream ones

[-] onlinepersona@programming.dev 3 points 2 years ago

I have 3 banking apps installed right now through Aurora Store (FLOSS access to Google Store). They work fine. The only bank that didn't like my degoogled phone, I dropped.

Monesse, Monzo and Revolut all refused to work for me. They're mobile-only banks so maybe that's the reason.

[-] onlinepersona@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

Revolut has worked for me no problem 🤔 What problems did you face?

[-] mark@programming.dev 8 points 2 years ago

I second the recommendation for Fairphone w/ CalyxOS. Feels just like having a Google Pixel running Android. Just way way more private.

Is this gonna turn into a new meme?

I have tried /e/ os, I have found it to be meh

I’ve tried running Replicant and degoogled Lineage OS on an old Samsung phone many years ago. The experience was a bit rough, but tolerable as long as you’re a tech enthusiast and willing to make some sacrifices. Back then it wasn’t quite acceptable to me, because my bank app didn’t work. Then they announced that they were going to phase out the old code paper, so authentication through a mobile app was seen as the only acceptable method going forward.

Fingers crossed that linux gets better support and development on phones

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago

Lemmy has a hate boner for Apple but iOS is dope

[-] umbrella@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Apple is not much different than Google

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago

Heaps better when it comes to data collection and privacy, if you’re concerned about that.

[-] umbrella@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

their privacy policy is not much different.

You’re arguing in favor of an advertising company?

[-] umbrella@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

You appear to be doing something similar.
