No laws otherwise orgs would have to support Internet Explorer even though it has been replaced with chromium edge.
If the bank can't provide you with what you want, change banks.
If the bank can't provide you with what you want, change banks.
While I agree, we both know the things are going... This won't be an option at some point.
You gonna drink this verification can, boy, and you will greatly enjoy it!
As long as you have no individual contract with the bank that states otherwise,you are sadly out of luck. While banks must keep their service accessible, they can absolutely regulate how to access them as long it falls within reasoning.
There is a high likelihood that you can also use pure Chromium so you can at least stay off Google.
There has been a case in Germany when a bank changed it's TAN process and customers didn't want to change over to photoTAN/SMSTAN. It went through the court system and the highest federal court referred the case to the EU courts who afaik didn't even accept it and did not see any problems. So it's unlikely that there are any EU rules against it.
I think that there was a similar discussion around edge/IE and the result was the same.
Personally I would try a user agent switcher,if that doesn't work chromium,if that does not work Chrome portable. The bank already knows everything and portable with a good firewall keeps google at bay.
I don't think that there is an obligation with that kind of standard, no.
Banking and security, accessibility yes.
Specific choice of "user side software", probably not. And it's somewhat unlikely to happen too, because if you think about apps on phones, if suddenly a completely new phone OS were to show up and had 30% market share, it wouldn't make sense to have a law that would legally require them to offer an app on that platform
And Chrome isn't "officially bad" in a legal sense.
The internet standards themselves are a bit... imprecise too. Implementing them in browser is ultimately up to the companies, there is no legal body requiring a browser to have or not have features. They just usually sort of do the same things because going different paths would be stupid. Mostly. Sometimes they totally do that, though, e.g. calendars and contact info have a standard, but all implementations are a mess and transfer is a pain.
