I’m about to degoogle my stock Android phone. For the past few years, I’ve used it to handle the non-open source apps that I don’t want running on my main phone. As I’ve finally weaned off GApps, I realize that I might as well go degoogle the rom as well.

But since that phone is my compatibility guinea pig, is it likely I’ll still run into an app that demands unmodded Android with no alternatives? In your experience, has any bank or other service required the app on regular Android, with no alternative for the desktop, browser, etc?

      Wow, given that they already had lockers that your grandma could use with a code she wrote down on a piece of paper this really seems like a step backward. Clearly the extra money they hope to make from more app installs sounds more lucrative!
