    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.

          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.

                  Fuck nuance right? Dumbass take.

                  Regulation is what’s needed. Not 7 nerds making their lives miserable to “Stick it Google” lmao.

                    If you’re waiting for government to save us, you’re going to be waiting a long time.
