Most secure browsers for things like bank logins

It’s best to avoid Flatpak when installing Chromium or Firefox based browsers. Snap seems to provide better support for browser sandboxing, but it’s still recommended against for some browsers such as Brave.

Chromium-based browsers like Brave should have better sandboxing than Firefox-based browsers, so in a sense yes. However, if you’re only using this for trusted websites like banking, it shouldn’t matter much.

One important thing to note is the quality of “Chromium” varies depending on which build you’re using as there is not an official build provided by Google. I heard in the past there were some security issues with how some Linux distributions built Chromium (like Fedora) though that might be fixed now.

Any of the recommended browsers should be fine for your use case of logging into trusted websites. If you want to get the best of both worlds (security & privacy) stick with Brave.
