    Your bank will only do it, if, and only if, Chrome is a majority of browsers they see.

    How do you stop that? By not using it.

    Everyone keeps postulating over a terrible future, but won’t actually do anything now, today, to help prevent it.

      The bank already has your money. Asking you to install a free app to use their services would not be seen by regulators as unreasonable. Especially when they play the security argument.

      I don’t see how Chrome has to be in the majority for some sectors to start relying on these kinds of attestations. Safari already has a similar mechanism, so that right there is the majority of mobile users when you include Chrome.

      But Chrome is already the dominant browser, and Firefox has like 2% market share last time I checked.
