I don't really like the term "echo chamber," but that sort of thing makes me realize I'm really in one. Nearly everyone I interact with online just takes things like adblocking and basic internet hygiene for granted, but every so often I encounter someone who reminds me that there are a lot of people who don't know the first thing about such things.

I remember one time this kid asked me, "What's Chromium? I have this app called 'Chromium' but I don't know what it's for," so I went into a lengthy explanation about how it's an internet browser, and how Chrome is based on Chromium but that Chromium without Google exists, whereupon they showed me their laptop, and it was severely infected with some obvious malware that put a search bar on their desktop titled "Chromium."
