Things that I (shouldn't, but do) assume all reasonable people do:
- Using a web browser with a good ad blocker and a Reader mode.
- Knowing that most paywalls can be defeated by having your ad blocker turn off all JavaScript for the site.
- Using strong, different passwords for everything, which means:
- Using a password manager of some kind, even the one built into the browser
- Using ctrl + and ctrl - as view zoom shortcuts
- reporting spammers
- avoiding social media without chronological views
- listen to music through cheap-but-good headphones or in-ears
- avoid many convenient things (like anything involving real bank or credit information on your phone) because it's obviously a horrendous security risk
- not that last one, huh?

@dashdsrdash You're right, but I monitor my incoming and outgoing transactions on bank account and credit card daily, and when fraud is caught quickly, your bank/credit institution of choice SHOULD be handling it appropriately, which means canelling the transaction and making you whole.
Relying on this IS a risk, but so iss crossing the street, even after looking both ways.
