The tricky thing is what extensions should be whitelisted and what extensions shouldn't. uBlock is easy, but what about Consent-O-Matic? What about GreaseMonkey and friends? What about Stylus? Where do you draw the line?

uBlock was just an example, of course. There are other addons that do more complex auto detection.

In my experience, banking websites are notoriously ass-backwards and need more hacks and patches than many other websites.

I’ve specifically used Greasemonkey to fix bank breaking pasting into fields and blocking password managers by splitting login form into deliberately broken pieces.
