Re: Too risky to use Android browsing the web.

@Adam 1, That as may be, but if the OS isn't properly patched, using the Android equivalents of NoScript and Adblock would be rather like having window locks on your property and security bolts on your front door but leaving the back door wide open. Extra security in one area doesn't compensate for a lack of security elsewhere.
