Stupid stuff like this is the reason I use Ublock-Origin. Before that I used to use Umatrix when it was maintained. I blocked just about everything and had countless rules for my most visited websites so idiotic stuff wouldn’t load.
Nowaways, I block 3rd party frames and call it a day. If my connection is slow I can block pictures, javascript and 3rd party bloat to reduce bandwidth and browse basic sites.

Here I thought not giving accessibility permission, draw over apps permission among others meant I was safe.
Guess, there’s always something on the corner. More infuriating, this was disclosed in February and google has yet to completely fix the issue. I doubt I would be getting a proper fix any time sooner than march at this pace.

Not all banks and website support physical key authentication. Besides, those keys can also be vulnerable. Yubikeys and others were vulnerable to a side channel attack and you had to buy new keys since you cannot patch hardware.
The only saving grace was an Attacker needed physical access to attempt that. But, yes in general can be more secure.
