I’m mostly scared of clicking shady links these days…

Idk if I’m being too paranoid but my google mailbox is full of phishing attempts…



Oh, then you’ll love the shady url generator - http://shadyurl.com/ -> http://www.5z8.info/inject_worm_r3l9em_gain-inches


Your paranoia is justified. If NoScript didn't exist I don't know how anyone could browse the web with any confidence.


I've been all over the Internet with an ad blocker and JS enabled running Firefox Nightly for years now with no issues.


The brain becomes the filter. "nah this url sus" becomes an unconscious reaction, like this fire hot.
