If you do online banking, shopping, etc...

Do you give importance to these Banking Protection/Browser in buying a security software or you think these are just marketing tactics or bloats or not needed or may provide additional protection but not required, etc...?

I think they are important; additional layer of protection.

Yes if you can afford to download then why not, some unusual websites possess fake certificates to lure you online from their transactions. Still a user choice if he/she can manage to shop safely and securely in traditional way.

They provide an extra layer of security, with an isolated environment from all other running software on your PC. However, it's been reported that Security vendors have used modified versions of Chromium, and disabled important security features (most have fixed this). Always make sure you're running the latest version, by updating your security software (integrated components).

In my opinion, I don't see it necessary for some types of PC users.
