Are you being deliberately obtuse? I honestly can't tell. First of all, I don't trust anyone from my social circle not to be a vector for malware on the Internet, just as I don't trust them to not be a vector for real-life viruses and bacteria. If they have been compromised, they can be an unwilling vector. Toward that end, I have an immune system, as well as additional strategies such as vaccinations, hand washing, good nutrition, etc., to help protect myself. Websites that have been compromised can be a vector for malware. Even HN could be a vector for malware. You can't simply trust that it isn't. Second, your "answer" has nothing to do with my question. I asked which websites you trust, not which software repositories you trust. Browsers can and have had flaws that permit malware installation and other arbitrary code execution without an affirmative action on your part. So I say again, more forcefully, which websites do you trust so completely that you believe they can never be a vector for malware?
