With cookie session stealing, cross site scripting attacks and AI impersonation, family members are surely your biggest security risk by far.
How do you handle that?
1) Which browser do you choose? I move my wife onto BRAVE, but the security over Chrome meant that rarely some sites don't work. She just gets annoyed when it doesn't. Would you say that I would be OK with moving back to Chrome because actually Brave is more about privacy, with security being just coincidental to that? I found that she never restarts Brave to keep it update it. Is Chrome more aggressive in that?
2) My wife doesn't want to update to Montrery and is sticking on Catalina because she's worried it'll slow down her 8GB ram Mac. Fortunately, I have a spare SSD. I'm going to secretly swap the SSD when she's not looking one day and transfer all her files across. She'll be mad, but we'll be safe. I might be able to get away with telling her it was automatic.
3) I use NEXTDNS with some filtering. This is useful, but I recommend setting it not so aggressive if you can.
4) I found LULU wasn't actually too difficult to use. But I wish the yes and no buttons were bright red and green.
5a) Her mac was full from iphotos sync. I managed to fix that, but that was blocking updates due to lack of space. That seems like a major flaw in MacOS to me.
5b) likewise, her iphone is full and also won't update. This is due to WhatsApp being too big. Apps aren't offloading properly. Rather than backup and wipe the phone, she just leaves her phone vulnerable because she doesn't trust the apple backup system. I just don't know what to do with her.
6) I found all family members use very weak passwords on their desktop logins. Understandable, since we need to type it so much. What's the risk of this?
This is just my wife. God knows my parents must be even worse.
