> the creation of the Java version of that application was due to complaints from Linux users
Is this a fact? I too remember something along these lines but I wasn't sure. If that's the case, it's amazing. Those Linux users are still citizens and they pay taxes too, they absolutely deserve to be supported even if they are 0.1% of the population. The government has nor should have any profitability excuse.
> for a while, most banks required the use of an horribly invasive "security plugin" for the browser
I HATE that thing. I tried to reverse engineer it once to see what it does and why it slows everything down so much. I caught it intercepting every single network connection. I actually switched banks to get away from this stupid software. Literally malware.

Yes, the Warsaw plugin. It's even on the AUR.
