So the solution is to give the extension access to your banking site? Doesn't seem ideal. Extension permissions still can't block an extension from making network requests if they have access to a site, right? (Not implying this extension does something nefarious, but more the general risk of such extensions especially when we hear that sometimes extensions get sold or their authors accounts get compromised...)
Even if it is benign now, there is no telling when it might be sold and new owners may have more nefarious intentions.

#17Is there even proven benefits of blocking right click security wise? I wonder what is the rationale behind these decisions?

I use a dedicated browser for all types of banking as you can't be too careful. Also, I don't run any extension on it for this same reason of being careful.
