Well that's the problem.... the next step would be requiring users to use MS Edge, because a malicious version of firefox could capture/modify banking/transaction data. Want to pay bills? Give money to microsoft first.



Are you saying the bank doesn’t have the right to define what kinds of software are permitted to access its systems?

We’re not just talking about the freedom to run software on your own device here, we’re talking about interacting with outside systems. There is an important distinction in context.


It's a browser.

As long as it adheres to basic web standards, I believe no, the bank should have no say in what browser you use to access their webpage.
