Of course there's the issue of the "reset your password" scam. My firm rule is to never enter or change a password following a link I didn't initiate.
Another intriguing attempt at isolation is QubesOS, which puts windows in different virtual mavhines. There is thus a default "untrusted" domain that is isolated from other windows. It was too slow for me using my older hardware. You really need an SSD, it seems. But the idea is appealing.

yep, Tor browser is harden enough to protect you from these kind of attack and provide better anonymity unless and untill you don't do any stupidity. If possible always prefer to use Tor Browser.
