Would a website know if you’re using a rooted phone? I don’t think so. Banking apps are different, they might have access to device details but I thought browsers were device agnostic.
The problem is that the website doesn’t allow some of the critical features that the app allows, such as depositing checks. IIRC there are a few things that I was trying to do–link accounts for payments, I think?–where I had to use the banking app.
It is really worrying how a traditionally lethargic service, banking, is also moving to non-privacy respecting methods. I thought we’d be able to fix this internet panopticon shitshow before banks moved fully to apps.
