Still easily said, since I don't use the websites for any of those things anyway. If it's really important, or involves very sensitive personal information, I'm not doing it on the web.

There are extensions that make this very trivial.

This is my approach, as well. And if I absolutely had to use their web service? Well, keep the bank in my Chrome bookmarks bar, and only go there when I'm in Chrome. Head on back to Firefox when I'm done doing whatever it is that I needed to do.

It’s probably a good idea to have a separate browner for your bank anyway, on a seperate user account, probably a separate VM.

It's definitely a position you can take, but that's a very minority position among web users these days.

For the rest of us, "Just stop doing it on the web" would be a pretty substantial lifestyle change and, practically speaking, not worth it.

I never claimed it was a majority position. I was only expressing my own stance. Whether or not anyone else shares it with me is irrelevant.

It really isn't, though, at least not for most people I know who aren't into tech. It would certainly mean changing some habits, which is often hard, but (at least in the US) it means giving up a relatively small amount of convenience, not a substantial lifestyle change.
