well no one to force you to do banking from smartphones
You can do manually like the old days, EXPLICTLY ALLOWING NON GOOGLE/APPLE to do banking in their own mobile phone meaning THERE ARE MILLIONS OF USERS that can fall victim to scammer+cracker
how cant you see all of that???? ITS JUST NOT ABOUT YOU
edit: please educate first, y'all need to know differences between mobile banking and internet banking
You can downvote me all you want, but I don't want to hear lecture from non-security compliant engineer about what to do about security
Locking down a website to only be available to users on Apple and Windows doesn't make it safer. It just reduces the cost of building it because you don't have to bother testing it on any other platforms. Rather than tell users "Danger, we haven't tested your choice of OS" companies prefer to lock it down.
Users on Apple and Windows are not safer because a bank has chosen to block Linux.

Until they decide to force you to use the mobile app as a 2FA for the website. My bank did that, I literally had to buy a new phone because the old one couldn't update their stupid app. It locks you in to the latest N versions of Android/iOS.
Before you ask, no, other banks aren't any better where I live. They all stopped using physical 2FA keys years ago. And no, they won't let you come in physically for things that can be done online.

My bank lets me do everything just fine on Firefox/linux.
For now, until they come up with some stupid 2FA solution that requires installing and updating their Android/iOS app. Banks where I live already have and there's literally no way around it (they don't use physical 2FA keys anymore).
its not mobile banking if you use browser
its just browser/internet banking
also mobile banking has much more capabilites in forms of app than just "web page"
