Which is precisely why using linux and
firefox/epiphany/konqueror/dillo/lynx/links/w3m is such a good idea;
that way, you can surf /without/ having to worry about where you are
going, as nobody is going to get control of your browser or machine.
That way, those 93% who're just surfing, could do so with 100% safety.
