Simple Xposed module to support the Belfius app on Rooted devices!

Source
https://github.com/Rikj000/Belfius-Root#belfius-root

License GPLv3

Motivation
Belfius bank was pretty cool about having a rooted device in the past,
they just threw a dismissible warning about security risks of using a rooted device,
and then allowed you to keep using their app.

However on 2024-07-01 this changed.
Nowadays they assume that you're an idiot that will not be able to keep your own device safe if you have root.

I do not agree with that assumption, and likely neither do you.
Only power users that have a good idea of what they're doing tend to root their own devices.

After only a hand full of transactions, done through the tedious browser process,
I grew agitated enough to do the research to write this module.

Hope you'll enjoy this module and the ability to stay rooted!

The occupation continues! 🇵🇸

Nothing new.

This is also unchanged: "while countries like Sweden and Denmark also have quite high taxes, they manage to offer better services in terms of health care, higher pensions and free child care, among others."

Not sure who needs this but I grew tired of 2dehands.be being full of promoted stuff, new products and professional sellers. I am usually looking for second hand stuff, not new in store or online shop stuff.

So here are some rules you can add to uBlock Origins filter list that will filter those out.

www.2dehands.be##:xpath(//li[contains(@class, 'list') and descendant::span[contains(text(), 'Bezoek website')]])
www.2dehands.be##:xpath(//li[contains(@class, 'list') and contains(.//a, 'Naar website')])
www.2dehands.be##:xpath(//li[contains(@class, 'list') and descendant::span[contains(text(), 'Catawiki')]])
www.2dehands.be##:xpath(//li[contains(@class, 'list') and descendant::span[contains(text(), 'Topadvertentie')]])
www.2dehands.be##:xpath(//li[contains(@class, 'list') and descendant::span[contains(text(), 'Topzoekertje')]])
www.2dehands.be##:xpath(//div[contains(@class, 'Banner')])

Don't get me wrong, I understand why ads and all are there, I just wish 2dehands would give us a filter to filter by only second hand stuff.
