  • I particularly enjoy European based companies because of their customer service.

    one time I had an issue where tutanota double charged me, I sent one email saying “I got double charged” without giving much context or having to explain myself, they replied within minutes and fixed the issue without me needing to do further action.

    American companies could never.




  • no, that’s a well known workaround, but the banking apps I used were just giving me a generic error, while yes they used google play integrity API, they weren’t enforcing it.

    what it turns out is that they were checking for specific packages that come preinstalled with every copy of GOS, effectively blocking users of said operating system.

    Luckily these packages aren’t essential and could be disabled by users, bypassing their checks.

    this is one of many that they implemented, there are 3 other checks but it was easy to bypass those too without compromise.


  • as it stands right now, there is no clear benefit for me when it comes between choosing to bank on my browser vs just using the app while yea it does offer some fingerprinting resistance, I’d be still exposing my real IP address, otherwise the bank would flag any other IP address I’m using and will require me to verify myself.

    I opted to run my banking apps in a separate profile without hiding behind anything while kewping my other profiles separate and behind proxies
