  • My bank also does this shit. It’s aggravating to use their website when every step along the way they put the burden of security on the user.

    Pasting is disabled on almost every text field, even for things like account numbers (which they make you type in twice) when you want to do a transfer. The only way to log in is to manually type in your username, password, and a damn captcha everytime. The 6 digit 2FA code is the icing on the cake. If you idle for a minute or two, they log you out and force you to go through the whole thing again.



  • Using GBoard begrudgingly because there’s no better alternative for me personally. I depend on the swipe typing and gestures a lot. Personalisation is off, and I don’t use the next-word suggestions that often.

    I don’t really like SwiftKey’s design or its Microsoft affiliation. I wish there was a good open-source alternative. Florisboard looks promising, but the last time I tried it, it was still lacking in features.






  • This extension blurs the entire camera feed instead of only the background, so it’s not really a solution unfortunately.

    I’ve also tried a simple useragent change in Firefox, but the feature still didn’t work. That leads me to think they’re using browser features that are not available on Firefox.

    Another thing I’ve noticed is that Google’s background blur implementation has better edge detection than apps like Zoom, and it handles things like curly hairstyles more gracefully.
