Handle Browser Automation Blocks on Financial Sites
When browser automation tools are blocked on financial domains (Fidelity, brokerages, etc.) due to safety restrictions, use fallback data collection methods: screenshot capture for OCR/image reading, manual CSV export from the site's UI, copy-paste of table data into chat, or ask user to download files locally. Never attempt to bypass security blocks—instead, pivot to human-in-loop data transfer (screenshot, export, paste) and process the data after receipt.
