It isn't paranoia if the danger is clear and present

Arbitrary code execution on a web page visitor's computer by sending malicious javascript through Adobe Flash.
Guess what problems will arise with local off-line storage in HTML5?
Thus, by default, treat the web and every page on it as a potential threat. It's a dangerous place and people want to wreak havoc.
- Turn off plug-ins and javascript unless you trust the page and need the functionality.
- Make it easy on yourself to turn them off and on based on what page or domain you visit: use the Opera browser.
- The less fortunate that get stuck with Firefox can use the NoScript extension.
- For those who are forced to use Microsoft's excuse for a web browser... avoid the web altogether.
