Don't use that website.
It's certainly true that you have no agency or self respect if you embrace a defeatist and submissive outlook.
So don't do that.
There are countless banks out there. I have bank accounts with several different institutions in two different countries and they all work fine with Firefox + uBO. If yours doesn't, why are you supporting them?

I haven't seen this. If a website is too much of a PITA to use, I just won't use it, and I suggest you do the same.

You're nitpicking, there are lots of corporate sites that only test against Chrome/Safari these days. I'd love it if Firefox would regain popularity, and Chrome would lose its stranglehold, but let's not stick our heads in the sand about the way things are going.
The situation in the example you cited has improved. You're undermining your own position.
Use Firefox and be happy.
Even if it's my bank -- there are other methods of doing business with most banks, after all. And if my bank, for whatever reason, can only be dealt with through their website then I'd change banks in a heartbeat.
So no, on our present course, Firefox will not save us. And even if every HN reader used it, that wouldn't even come close to pushing its usage share out of the single digits.
