| May 6, 2019 at 6:29 | comment | added | Nzall | Note that if you use an ad blocker and stick to larger and more professional sites like the ones of the Mindgeek network, adult content actually has very little malware, because these larger sites are actively maintained by professional developers who know security best practises and put them into action. I believe I once read a study that compared adult content to religious sites and found that the religious sites are a lot riskier in terms of malware, because they tend to be maintained poorly (if at all), usually by a family member or friend who does it as a side activity. | |

| May 6, 2019 at 4:15 | comment | added | Mycroft | @jpmc26 Consider the most safe browser that you know on both PC and smartphone (I will appreciate if you list it). What OS you choose in this case? | |
| May 6, 2019 at 4:09 | comment | added | jpmc26 | @Mycroft Then it depends at least as much on browser as OS. | |
| May 6, 2019 at 4:08 | comment | added | Mycroft | @jpmc26 Non-target malwares. Just malicious content across the web, basically malicious websites or downloads. | |
| May 6, 2019 at 4:07 | comment | added | Mycroft | @NotThatGuy It's not to me. Since you said, I would not to be on this site if I was not concerned about security. | |
| May 6, 2019 at 2:43 | comment | added | jpmc26 | Safe from what threats? What is your threat model? | |
| May 5, 2019 at 18:15 | comment | added | NotThatGuy | If you're not concerned about security, surely you'd just go with the one that's the most convenient? If someone has enough concern about security to care about the answer to this question, they should probably instead spend a bit of time reading up on best security practices and trying to understand what's actually happening on their device, which would make either option a whole lot more secure than either would've been without that knowledge. | |
| May 5, 2019 at 17:05 | comment | added | Alex Vong | My pessimistic view is that somebody without concern about security will fail miserably no matter which platform that person use. (Similar to incompetent players in computer games. They can throw away a game even when it is a guaranteed win.) | |

Navigation sounded too much like using a map, not web browsing
