Only if I grant them root, which I'd only do to a very small number of open source apps
I instead have to use my desktop web browser, and desktop operating systems have a far worse security model than Android. No special permissions are generally needed to capture the screen, capture/inject keystrokes, or open .mozilla/whatever/cookies.sqlite
So my phone is still the significantly more secure environment. The fact that I have the ability to grant root does not make it "compromised"
- crazygringo 2y ago> Only if I grant them root But that's exactly the point. The bank doesn't know what you've granted root. It doesn't know if you're a security researcher, or somebody installing pirated apps with spyware. The bank can't enforce that on desktop web browsers, but at least it can on mobile.
- oneshtein 2y agoNope, they cannot enforce that on mobile when I have root.
- crazygringo 2y agoThen why did the root commenter say: > because their apps refuse to run on my rooted phone
