As the famous proverb says "give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime". The best way to "fix" phishing attacks and malware is by making people more "technical".

The Web needs to be a competitive platform for apps next to the closed and "gated" App Stores. I think that we should not dumb down web browsers to simple page viewers.
