I actually ran into such issues, in particular with commercial websits. Some browsers I use do not work for my online transactions for instance - annoyingly the local bank I use for logging into my account as well. It is basically the bank hijacking my money and forcing me into using a specific browser (or, at the least, very few; they improved compatibility a bit in the last years, but there were more issues in the past here). It is just a reality of the situation that some websites don't work well on certain browsers.

Why don't you consider switching banks? In 2008 I had to switch bank for exactly this reason.

I switched bank in 2021 and it was hard. No bank advertises "we do compliant chip tan" and no bank advertises "we do not buy an app framework that scans for customs roms".
Switching banks is hard, because all of them suck, are underdocumented and a moving target.

I suppose today it is more difficult. At the time I only had to get a guarantee from the bank that they support Firefox in addition to IE. Getting that guarantee did take them a week, and only happened because I found a sympathetic bank manager who was willing to pressure them on my behalf.
