To those who think they have nothing of interest
Well you guys may be right regarding launch codes or anything like that but what about your Twitter, Facebook, Gmail, Paypal, Amazon, Credit Card, ... info that can be taken.
Do you like have your accounts taken hostage?
How about bitcoin... what if someone redirects your mining to a different pool/wallet?
If your okay with that then avoid the patches... Also FYI a trusted site does not mean it can be trusted entirely. You may trust the articles on the site but can you trust the ads, yes noscript(or most script blockers) helps tremendously but no one should have full faith in anything. There is a reason why these addons get updated... clever people figure ways around things.
I've been in the security game for almost 20 years now and well the best way to describe it is "It's a cat and mouse game". You may be protected most of the time but not 100% of the time... Keep that in mind.
