In the time it took the OP to screenshot this and post it across several social media channels, they could’ve closed their account and joined a bank without such BS restrictions. But gotta get those upvotes. And of course I realize the OP could have done both, but I am trying to balance rolling on coke with drinking whiskey so please accept my acknowledgment
Few weeks ago my bank force me to use password and SMS code for transactions because of EU regulations. But if I would use app (which I won't), I don't have to use any passwords. Which EU regulation tell banks to use SMS and password to make transactions without app?
Anecdotally, if you use firefox on android to sign in to a wells fargo account you will get a shitload more captchas and extra verification steps to actually login than if you use chrome, or their officially published app. This is not how the web was supposed to be.

Brave has even better privacy and anti-fingerprint measures than Firefox https://privacytests.org/
Brave has more privacy feature out of the box . LibreWolf which is Firefox with changed settings is superior. besides the site only shows if a privacy feature is present not how good it is.

Not sure where you got the idea that the core development team has been cut, Firefox development remains strong. For example, here's a 1,000+ line patch that just landed two days ago. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1779952
Look at the tech Mozilla produces, all of it is non portable, exclusively for FF, and is not particularly great. Chromium can be extended in many ways. V8 can be used anywhere and is what spawned node and the idea of JavaScript server and client side. Firefox is more like a product that's source available than an open source project made to benefit the ecosystem. They would do better to finally pony up, reskin chromi…
I wonder if people realize how low Firefox marketshare has fallen, or if people are stuck in a 2010s-era idea of what the web browser landscape is like. I also think the prevalence of Firefox among the (overall tiny) desktop Linux demographic tends to warp developer perspectives. It's under 4% - for all intents and purposes a dead browser. I certainly wouldn't devote any engineering hours towards supporting it.
Chromium-based engine : Chromium, Chrome, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi, Edge, Naver Whale. Firefox-based engine : Firefox, GNU Icecat. Firefox is slowly becoming the pariah of web browser.
I'm building a web app, and tested the app against all those browser. The behavior is really different, especially regarding the implementation a newly developed web api and the depreciation plan of ancient javascript api. For example, xhr depreciation [1]. As for chromium, they are quite responsive in responding the developer inquiries regarding a browser-specific API implementation. [2][3] Sadly, it's IE vs Netscap…
Serious question: I love FF because of many reasons, but "additional voice at the web standard group" is quite far down the list for me. The top reasons I'm using FF right now are the features, namely high customizability on everything, TreeStyleTab, Picture in Picture mode with subtitle support, container tabs, all the privacy stuffs, and so on. How hard is it to have all these features with another engine like Webk…
Firefox is doing very well in regards to implementing web standards while Safari doesn't implement enough to be called up to date or modern.

In today's webbrowser landscape Safari is the one lagging behind. Firefox is doing very well in regards to implementing web standards while Safari doesn't implement enough to be called up to date or modern.

I was not a fan of their cache location changes as I had to write custom rules in bleachbit [2] to vacuum/compress/clean database files created by LibreWolf. In a weird way I think they made their browser less private with that move as not everyone is going to write custom bleachbit rules.
