It's absolutely imperative that you download ad-blocking software and avoid microsoft internet explorer. 12/4/2011 1:52:43 PM |

I have Google Chrome and run Ubuntu. I'm more virus resistant than Magic Johnson. 12/4/2011 8:22:52 PM |

That is interesting. I would hope qntm puts a block on dejaviews.org urls. I travel all over the site but I haven't experienced anything unusual.
On the same token, I don't want to experience anything unusual. I would insist that qntm take action and post progress of his findings here. 12/4/2011 8:24:30 PM |

the kernel you use has little to do with your browser security 12/5/2011 1:03:36 AM |

This is true; however it does have something to do with whether any executable exploits would be able to do serious damage.
Even if malvertising were created to drop a BSD-targeted executable, the architecture of BSD would make it less likely to successfully run and spread.
Personally, if you were going that route, I'd prefer OpenBSD 12/5/2011 7:21:22 AM |

sure, but proper browser sandboxing is the correct layer for this defense. 12/5/2011 10:30:47 AM |
