There was some brouhaha a few weeks ago when someone posted a screenshot on reddit about an Indian public sector bank's app refusing to run because a user had installed Firefox, and according to that bank, was a "malicious app that could steal user data".
Indian banks and many of the government websites are some of the most user-hostile things out there. Once upon a time, I used to think this was primarily to deter malicious actors from preying on tech-illiterate users, but given that the banks don't want to use all the tools/frameworks out there which help websites be both secure and user-friendly, I've changed my opinion.
