Hopefully someone with more technical knowledge than me can provide some insight. How secure is an up-to-date N900 currently when you only use the standard applications and maybe occasionally the browsers in the repo?
The N900 hasn't received security updates for a long time now so I am wondering how safe we are and what we can do to protect ourselves.

I basically try to avoid browsing at all or browse for a short period of time and only to sites I trust.
I have easy debian installed, so for 'less trustworthy sites" I can always use a recent version of iceweasel. Easy debian makes use of a chroot so I assume that is intrinsically more secure than using standard maemo apps.
That is only browsing though.. other apps I should avoid or at least be aware of?
