another option is to have a browser that's used for these activities only.

I've been thinking about setting up a VM for unavoidable things like this. Set up a browser with a password manager and whatever essentials it needs, and save the state, then after every session, reset it and wipe the new content.

My thinking is that it will stop any tracking of other accounts or software, as you just use whatever site you log into at the time, so even if you do have to enable trackers for a site, there's nothing for them to see.
