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.

    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.

    In my comment above I mentioned that some banks are App-only, you cannot access your funds though the website.

    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".

    You’re missing the forrest for the trees. Almost nothing relies entirely on Google without an alternative.

    And even if you have a use case where you do literally rely on a Google service, you can still make steps to cut out all other Google services.

    Refusal to at least try is, of course, your prerogative. But it’s tacit approval of their actions.

    You are talking out of your ass and throwing random-ass suggestions, presuming I haven't tried anything already.

    Well boys, pack it in. Our Google overlords give us no choice. All hail Google.

    There are a couple of issues with that mentality, there are some countries in which money transitions almost entirely revolve around proprietary apps and services, Sweden for example (a decent article that talks about Sweden in particular). In my country, I can't find any public information on which banks require apps and which don't. The bank that I am currently using does have a website, but I have to login with a one-time password generated from an app. Also, going to a different bank assumes the same bank won't do the same and exclusively require an app down the line.

    I’ve actually never seen a bank that an app is the ONLY option. And two factor codes should be able to be generated by any number of (sometimes FOSS) apps.

    Nope, only the banking app can be used to generate the code.
