"being careful" in my view includes blocking ads, reducing unnecessary remote connections to servers and not running unnecessary code. You can't avoid everything, but I think you can get by pretty well being careful. That does mean being more careful about doing things most people don't consider very risky though.
- erik_seaberg 3y agoThe OS may or may not be involved, but I view systematic ad blocking as a layer of sandboxing, because the user isn't in the loop.
- CoolCold 3y agoMost people barely have any idea they run any code and what in general code means. Seeing questions like - I was traveling and have a huge bill on internet traffic, I wasn't downloading any movies just watched them online, why you charge me? - gives me personally good portion of understanding that users can't be relied on and need accoring guidance.
