any risk of getting infected or attacked?

This is precisely the time when a VM is great. Not sure about a dodgy link? Load it in a sandboxed VM. Once done, just restore from a previous, clean snapshot and you're good. I actually do a lot of web browsing this way - when run fullscreen, you only lose a small section of screen estate when using VirtualBox and the performance is the same - unless you're short of RAM.

I only include this as a side note because I can't really add to what Mr.Koala has already told you.

Let's block ads! (Why?)
