At least you can force desktop mode on most sites. No mobiles apps, desktop mode on phone. Usually.
Comment on I just wanted to take a moment to enjoy how clean the web can be

This kind of thing getting worse and worse at all levels of tech is increasingly pushing me to the fringes of tech solutions (with all of the handicaps that come with that) as those are getting to be the only places where this kind of things is not pervasive.

I’m headed in that direction.
- Minimal apps on my phone, most of them foss apps to access my self hosted services
- Raspberry pi 4 running osmc connected to our TV. TV itself has no internet connection
- Want to move to graphene os, but riding this iphone 12 mini until it dies
- Linux on my server and my primary computer. Have an M1 Mac Mini that my wife primarily uses (too many papercuts for her with asahi linux. We tried and switched back), and iPadOS on the iPad Pro that I have that I’m also riding until it dies.

Yup, I’m in exactly the same boat. I just got a new phone and decided to not install any banking apps whatsoever. I got a check in the mail, and instead of giving in and installing the app, I just drove a mile to an ATM. NBD, and I don’t have to see endless nags about banking features, credit scores, etc.
I’m not part of your system… MAN!, but actually serious.

I have found that local banks like credit unions, and such, seem to have nicer mobile apps from my experience.
I have worked as a software engineer for a place like this, and the development was a lot more honest. These kind of places normally just want a pleasant user experience for their customers, unlike bigger banks that want to deploy all sorts of dark patterns to collect user data and sell extra stuff to their customers.
