> You mean, unless you browse the web and enable javascript... Even then, if you're only hitting Gmail, Facebook and reddit, hackernews maybe a few news sites, you're gonna be fine most of the time. Yeah sometimes malware gets distributed via ad networks, so you're even better to use an ad blocker. It's not like the average user spends a lot of time on random sketchy sites, most of their time is on the big companies sites.

    I don't. No time, I'm working. (Only slightly joking.)

Plenty of sketchy sites are just one Google search away. The most common ways I've seen people end up in such places are free video streaming, browser games and (obviously) porn.

In other words, we should get rid of the Internet and use only a handful of sites owned by large companies plus a few highly trusted sites. This seems to be the end of the Internet as we know.
