Sure that would be great.

No but having a scrubbing proxy reduces the chances of the browser picking up anything nasty on the stream of consciousness browsing sessions that are sure to ensue. You could of course also have the proxy restrict access to anything but your banking sites, but then again there are simpler ways to do this. All in scrubbing proxies, for ad's malware, and just for ACL controls are good ideas. Of course when combined with sane firewall policies etc as well.
