Beyond being a warning about AI, which is helpful, you really should be taking proper security precautions anyway. Personally, I have a separate browser that runs no extensions set aside that's solely dedicated to doing finance- and other PII-type things. It's set to start on private browsing mode, clear all cookies on quit and I use it only for that. There may be more things that I could do but that meets my threat threshold for now. I go through this for exactly the reason in the tweet.

I thought that incognito mode in Chrome[0] and private mode in Firefox[1] already disables extensions by default.

private/incognito mode doesn't protect against XSS.
