Some cards/banks also have integrated app notifications so you're instantly notification of transactions.

Yep. We have a credit card with a low credit limit which we use for most of our online purchases. At least that way, our maximum possible exposure is only a few hundred pounds. I hardly ever use a debit card for the reasons you cite but increasingly we're finding that extra charges will be made for doing that whereas the debit card is free to use.
