I visited major bank websites on Linux but I couldn’t login and got the error “agent not supported”. Why do banks prevent logins from Linus even though I am using Google Chrome. Can someone please tell why this happens.

The browser sends a UA string to the website in every http request in which the OS you have is indicated. https://www.whatismybrowser.com/detect/what-is-my-user-agent https://www.whatismybrowser.com/detect/what-is-my-user-agent

  Thank you. However, why do the bank websites allow Google Chrome on windows but do not allow Google Chrome on Linux.

    It's hard to say without knowing more about the website. Some desktop features such as pepperflash were never ported to Android chrome however it's more likely a business decision to push mobile users to use their dedicated app.
