    Make sure you keep your software (operating system, browser etc) up to date and don’t install sketchy software.

    Install a reputable add blocker on your browser as that can help.

        While a good mentality to have it is not practical.

        Unless you audit every open source project you use, how do you know it is safe? Look up HeartBleed a disastrous security hole is the most popular open source security package that went unknown for years. And how do you know closed source is secure? Look at MS, Apple,Alassin all major closed source orgs that have released patches for critical vulnerabilities.

        Your saving grace is unless you are working for a high profile company in a sensitive area there is little chance you will be directly targeted. The only time you get targeted is when bad actors do a scattergun approach and sees who responds.
