Use Firefox and run uBock Origin, Noscript, and Privacy Badger extensions. If something seems suspicious, google the url and see if people are talking about it.
No script is not an easy tool. By default, it breaks 99% of websites. It has become a game for me though to approve the lowest amount of scripts to make a site run, but I realize this is definitely not for everyone.
It’s me as well. Most sites aren’t so bad, but then there’s those sites with like 45 items and one of them holds the key to the video I want to watch. I feel like there should be a crowdsourced whitelist that you could download for this.
So this is a genuine question. When doing research online you have to click on random websites/links. How do you protect yourself from that?

i can’t use firefox and i had to turn off noscript forgot why though… i use/do everything else, so i guess i’m kind of safe.

Check the url. Not what the link displays as, right click or hover that shit and see what the real url is.
Don’t follow links to sus.minemycrypto.sudan
Not even to win an internet argument.
