Or of any community AFAIK.  Perhaps there could be a special version of
Firefox that uses one-time pads for everything, and on startup uses a
cryptographically secure geolocation service to direct you to your nearest
supermarket for a roll of tinfoil, along with folding instructions for the
hat.

For the OP, Google "Shamir's Law".  99.99% of web users could be using single
DES and it'd still be somewhere around the bottom of page 50 of the list of
ways in which they're going to get 0wned.
