I use PayPal to be the middle man to protect my credit card information when I purchase items online.

Of course I have grown less fond of PayPal and their scammy behavior (plus the password limit is 20, wtf?)

My question; is there an alternative to paypal to buy things online (without crypto as not all stores take such things), such as privacy.com (but for Europe).

Correct mw if im wrong, but I believe privacy.com is for US, Canada region.

My bank doesn’t offer virtual credit cards sadly.

Revolut was recently in the news for stopping working on degoogled OSes. And judging by the comments, it is very app-dependent.

Yes, you can’t use it without the app, I’m on a degoogled android and had to drop them when they made that change.

Revolut still works well on CalyxOS.

Damn, can’t you even spoof the operating system name?

I heard of monzo working with virtual cards but you might need to pay a subscription with other goodies

I think Magisk could allow fooling Play Integrity in this case, but not everyone wants to root their phones.
