I am concerned about neither of those.

I run Firefox.

I use very few plugins - Cisco's H_264 video codec, Google's Widevine Content Decryption, and a current version of Shockwave Flash. (Flash is set to require permission to run and does not get invoked automatically. I keep it around because I have a few sites in my bookmarks that use it - mostly design and fashion sites whom use it to good effect, and are transitioning to HTML5/CSS3 in any case.)

And I don't have a web cam.

You may find password sniffers a concern. I have layered defenses, and don't.
