Rootkits/exploits appear on any operating system.
Wipe and reinstall often, rotate passwords at same time, also teaches good backups.
ad blocker by default and always up to date system.
Use VMs or other machines for dubious websites and wipe those often (like a raspberry?)
Careful what you execute on your machine
Then if you're really paranoid:
Some external firewall running suricata for alerting
Logging to an external system so you can review things in case of issues.

- genewitch 5y agoWay back in 2009 I helped design and implement basically "Firefox on AWS EC2" - I had YouTube audio and "video" working, in the subwindow, not Fullscreen. It was roughly 5-10FPS, about what you'd get with VNC, with perfect audio. I had an idea that thin clients were going to be big - and I stupidly pitched ideas for cloud based software to Adobe, Newtek, and Autodesk. Never gunna do that again.

- 1f60c 5y agoI'm assuming they want some protection against adtech companies or the local coffee shop sysadmin. Running Firefox in the cloud "to avoid detection by the NSA" would indeed be quite foolish.
