In my experience with UK banks & financial institutions, GrapheneOS support can be roughly divided into four types.

None. Explicitly banned. And, though I feel bad for saying it, I can't blame them. If some idiot roots their phone and downloads malware, the bank may be responsible for refunding them. I can see why they don't want that headache.

Some. App works, but some functionality is unavailable. I've got a credit card app which works, but refuses to set up virtual cards or use "remember me". That's good enough for my use. Similarly, I had a merchant account which let me see my balance, but I couldn't use my phone as a credit card reader.

Works, but only in main profile. I'd rather keep financial things in a locked profile. But lots of banks disallow that.

Full. Everything works (although you may need to toggle some exploit protection off).

Some banks are reasonably good at letting you pass on technical queries to their developers - mostly the smaller ones. The nice thing about the UK banking sector is that it is trivial to move banks. So I switched accounts to providers which worked with my phone and let the old ones know why I was moving.

I'm not so sure. If you wanted to be deliberate, you'd choose a plausible value that you could control.

No one is going to suspect `98761316832165974216498789746` is anything other than random. But `000000000000000123` looks suspicious.

You've never seen example.co.uk? Many countries use them because the top level domains for gov, edu, etc are restricted to one country.

Google aren't pushing WebP. Google Docs / Slides still don't support it.

I appreciate Google isn't a monolith, but that lack of consistency makes it really hard to shake the impression certain tribes within it are at war with each other.

You have pressed the "Drunk Mode" button on the theme switcher - probably on a previous visit.

Change the theme at the top and normality will be restored.

Thanks for getting the joke :-)

I did wonder about not having an Agents file because, just like you, I consider it a sign of poor quality. But I needed a way to discourage AI use and, in the end, none of my user research subjects mentioned it.
