You can always use a dedicated browser for that and only that. Brave, Opera, Vivaldi, IE, Chrome, whatever. At least there's enough browsers around to have each dedicated for certain purpose.

Well, that's the thing: Firefox Focus was my dedicated browser for that purpose. So now that's really no longer an option. I guess I can use Chrome in Incognito mode, but god knows how long it will be before payment sites start blacklisting that, too.

Temporary tab containers are a great alternative to a dedicated browser or incognito mode.

No need. Use Incognito/Private Browsing.

With the usual provisos, of course:
