I'm guessing the OP was asking specifically about the *downloading* part, not ofx itself. Chase continues to provide ofx files, but you have to login to their website and hit the download button now (supremely annoying IMHO) , where in the past, you could download from the command line. I use ofxget + bean-download, seen here <https://reds-rants.netlify.app/personal-finance/direct-downloads/>.
This is likely to happen more and more as banks move on to Open Banking <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_banking> / (US: Financial Data Exchange <https://financialdataexchange.org/>). In theory, these are a huge upgrade, but so far, it's been disappointing for FOSS and Beancount users as only commercial players seem to have access to this system, leaving no option for the end user. I imagine most banks would not remove ofx support though, even if they remove direct downloads for security reasons. Schwab has been an exception, and I hope they remain the exception. For the latter, I might reluctantly start looking into Selenium and the likes at some point. If anyone here uses it, please do share your experience.
