99% people have zero idea when they give advice using buzzwords. These people are either spreading misinformation, or are grifters (few of them).

If uBlock Origin is creating more attack surface, being a highly vetted, open source addon for REDUCING attack surface, that should tell you about advice you should be taking from such idiots.

I am one of the main people who has brought back focus on threat modelling and opsec, and I am glad that it is also differentiating the grift from the good advice, and not just guiding everyone towards a less tinfoil, more saner path to privacy.
