If I open multiple tabs, am I risking the security of information in one tab to the sites that are open on other tabs? For example, if I do online banking in one tab and a news site in another, will the second site be able to access PWs etc. as I do online banking?

Chances are very very small for this kind of a security breach, it's almost impossible without additional malware on your device.

But still you can increase your security by using a separate container for banking.
