@noiob @gmsh yeah like, that's what i was thinking

it's because i use youtube on mobile and TV so much that i went out of my way to convince my parents to get us all premium, since it's much easier than having to fiddle with an adblocker that's network wide (yes, pihole exists, yes, i've tried it, no, it's not good for my use-cases anyways)

@EeveeEuphoria @gmsh on android and google tv you can get modified apps with ad blockers

@noiob @gmsh yeah but they're all either shady as hell, shut down, or made by cryptobros

...sometimes all 3, like that one app i can't remember the name of

@EeveeEuphoria @gmsh don't care who makes them as long as they work lol

@noiob @gmsh i mean personally i don't want to install potential malware on my phone with my bank details, but you do you i guess lol

@EeveeEuphoria idk I don't have my bank details on my phone

@noiob my bank app literally only works on android because any other bank i sign up for tells me "lol you don't have a consistent income, get bent asshole"

@EeveeEuphoria I mean your bank app shouldn't contain your bank details

@EeveeEuphoria and unless you're rooted apps can't affect each other

@noiob tell me why all the reports about any malware on android ever talk about how bank details get stolen

@EeveeEuphoria idk I run a current security patch, I don't really read those. I'm guessing stuff like autofill?

@noiob 2 seconds of googling tells me "Xenomorph" can get bank details from up to 300 apps

and just simple inference tells me they can steal this info by you just logging into your bank, which'd happen because... you log into your bank on your phone, then once it's in, the malware just snoops and steals the data

even on the latest security version, there's a lot you can do, especially when you have to use an app that does shit like patching another entire app

@EeveeEuphoria @noiob that's because it requests accessibility settings, which android warns you to not to do for apps you don't trust
