Isn't it a security risk?

don't use brave they track your data thats how you earn crypto if you dont wanna use tor or I2P use firefox. firefox gives you the best privacy setting as far as clear net browsers

I love ZeroNet.
The passwordless feature is neat but I have more than one device and I've not used ZeroNet enough to know how (or if possible) to sync the data between, say, a laptop and a desktop if I want the same ID. I'm sure it's just a stored key file or something, just haven't looked into it.
I'm not sure how to initiate ZeroNet on anything other than a Linux machine, and I can't see someone like most my relatives or friends doing that. Probably a desktop shortcut or app on Windows, I'd imagine?
I'm thinking of ways that just your normal person can experience the internet in a way that isn't too off putting to them, as an end user, but also in a way that values their privacy.

Testing with javascript disabled... Appears to work as well. Please let me know via PM or in /f/ramble of any errors you encounter so we can get them ironed out. Thanks!

Did you receive a server error?
I'm unable to replicate the error it seems.

I installed Brave on all of their devices, deleted Chrome and hid Safari.

Probably not the answer you want, but ZeroNet.
ZeroNet is passwordless.
Currently though, TOR browser broke the ability to work with ZeroNet, so some privacy might potentially be sacrificed if browsing the wrong site.

In browser ad-blocking is a start unless you want to go the network route and setup a Raspberry Pi running pi-hole on it. Though the browser addons / plugins are less likely to need tuning, something it sounds like they're not equipped to do.
Once they get used to seeing the internet without ads all over the place, they'll freak out when they get on a computer or device that allows them. That will be a good starting point.

Is anyone surprised?

I recommend switching to a more secure browser (brave, firefox,...). Also i would recommend installing pihole on your network if you have a raspberry pi laying around. (Raspberry Pi 0 is about 5 dollars each + its really easy to set up).
