Thanks for your answer! Ublock Origin is a given in all my browsers. Web is not usable any more without.

 

Hello! Sorry maybe for this beginners-question: do I need dedicated anti-virus / anti-malware software for my Linux System?

I'm not using my laptop for anything shady: no filesharing, no pirating, etc. Just the usual boring bit of work or streaming or surfing the web. Do I need dedicated safety measures? Like ClamAV for example? I read a bit about it but there where mixed messages, where people said it's not needed.

I'm running Linux Mint and Cinnamon on a laptop since a few months and couldn't be happier with an operating system. Everything works fine and until now I had no trouble at all (besides this little annoying bug, where my touchpad gets randomly set to "deactivated", but this really is a minor issue and maybe just a "stupid user"-Problem).

Before I suffered through decades of windows. But no more!
