In the grand PLUG tradition, I'll answer a question you didn't ask:
How to I minimize exposure of commercial web activity?
My answer is that all such activity gets done in a Chrome "incognito"
window. I close all other Chrome windows, open an incognito window,
transact my business, and then close Chrome. In true fact, I reserve
Chrome exclusively for this sort of work, using Firefox and Safari for
day-to-day browsing.
Again, that doesn't answer your question -- but it was easier for me
to arrange browser usage than it would be to change financial
institutions.
