Afaik most use something like Plaid which works with the banks to get this data appropriately.

I think carbon ads does it particularly well. Though I’m not sure this kind of ad would work in every case.

The issue is other factors may force you to use an alternate store. My college uses Proctorio for online test-taking. I am required to use this for the class. The issue is, the extension is only available for Chrome (I've tried other Chromium browsers and those don't seem to work as well). As a Firefox user, I don't really like having to switch to Chrome just to use an app that I never wanted to use but am forced to.

The same could apply with app stores—if a company, school, or other requires that you use an app that is only available on a less privacy-friendly or perhaps more intrusive app store, that doesn't sound like an optional/risk-free alternative to me. Once you open the walls there's no going back.

With all the extensions available, you can get pretty close to a full IDE

Ubisoft does this for games that are shared with Steam. You launch the game on Uplay which starts Steam which starts the game.

I'm guessing companies that have the resources to go with two separate development teams for each platform will tend to go for that route since it leads to better performing applications. e.g. FB Messenger's blog post about going back to native after using React Native.

Yeah, they mention that you have to apply to (or currently attend) one of these two universities to apply to this program.

Seems TS is provided by default (tho it will not do any type-checking, you'll need tsc --noEmit for that). As for JSX, you need a basic tsconfig that specifies jsx.

I don't understand, you seem to contradict yourself: > It has always bothered me that I can't simply click on finder in the dock to bring up a window for the first time (as it'll only toggle what windows are already open).

I've never encountered any issues similar to what you're mentioning. It opens a new window if none are open, and shows the currently existing windows if some are already open.
