I'd worry more about that if I had anything public-facing. It's been my
experience that, on a home network with nothing but my own devices,
basic common sense wrt. going to sketchy websites and doing dodgy stuff
is far more critical than being patched for the latest esoteric flavor
of NSA exploits that involve frobbing bits X, Y & Z to a gigahertz
rendition of "Old MacDonald" and listening for the resulting microwave
whistles; I'm not running any centrifuges, here.

(The browsers get updated and restarted more often than the PC does,
anyway; with modern web design, you plain *have* to kill and relaunch
'em just to keep the memory leaks down to a dull roar, and you might as
well take the opportunity to wipe all the cached shit that the clear-
cache button invariably does *not* clear.)
