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.

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.
