I disagree that we should have a card reader on our computers for payments.
That is just a way too big of a security concern.
I prefer something like the Swedish system Swish, you have a separate app on your phone where you can send money to friends and family as well as pay for stuff online.
Sadly, while Klarna supports Swish, they require the use of a Klarna account to use it, and since most internet shops in Sweden uses Klarna it limits the ability to use it as I want to.
and with that you need a smartphone, with a google-approved operating system and with it half of the factory bloatware, or otherwise you are barred from paying online, right? that sounds such a good idea.

no.
I said nothing about the OS on the phone, why would you assume that I like Android?
I am an iPhone user, but that is beside the point, if Swish and BankID could run on an open mobile plattform, I’d be happy with that.
My point it to separate the main computer from the payment system while still being convenient.
I am a bit confused as how you missed that…
