if the install had finished and the installer was simply reading the flash drive to clean itself up, unmount filesystems and reboot, then chances are you are fine.

Firefox (and its forks) have been my go-to for 15 years.

noscript is your web condom. I will not touch a page without it.

then you go up to buying a half pound or a pound

good, strong flex there.

I understand caution when approaching things like secure boot - it can absolutely be abused by monopolies. however... barring inherent or implementation flaws and ensuring that signing keys are under user control it conceptually (and practically) allows for some useful things.

pretty comprehensive answer. definitely a strong nominee for the go-to comment every time this question pops up.
