I use adblock to prevent (malicious) ads from running. Browser malicious downloads warnings are enabled. Configured to show a full screen warning if http is used instead of https. Opening links from email requires manually copy pasting, forcing an extra look at links.

Generally I don't install random software outside the official repos or AUR, but I do blindly trust those repos to not be compromised.

That being said, I don't think I could 100% trust a modern computing device to not be compromised, but since that isn't possible I also don't see it as actionable information.
