By now, I think I should have already given my general approach to usability
- security - privacy equation.
The thing is, I am not specifically targeting any one of them in depth. I am
*compromising* for the best balance between them, and using light (easy to
implement) but radical means.
The fact tthat I use Midori with all active content disabled serves me in
several fronts:
(1) It automatically filters out the crop (internet junk) from the cream
(valuable information). My attention span is better used on worthwhile
information.
(2) It automatically filters out non-free content and malware.
(3) It increases snappiness of internet use, at the same time decreasing
bandwidth waste.
Whenever I run into a situation where I *have to* use active content, then
Qupzilla is waiting there, with all the bells and whistles enabled.
You may say, what use is protecting oneself 99% of the time, if one is
exposing himself 1% of the time? For one, Midori in passive use does *not*
protecting me fully (but I make a compromise there). Second, I am shrinking
my exposure as much as possible, in line with my approach to security. This
is not an all or none game, rather it is a multi faceted compromise.
