On *that* topic, of "going there", it has to be pre-prepared.

The reason it has to be set up ahead of time is that the payload often
expires in a short time period (e.g., the latest simultaneous triplet of
iOS zero-day exploits were delivered by a link whose payload expired within
a half hour, and a previous iOS zero-day exploit expired after the first
click).

What do the OS people suggest as the best pre-preparation for visiting a
potential harmful link?

Would "Tails on a VM" be the best bet?
