most dangerous file type? by ratio of damage some weird types that are created on purpose to store malicious code to be executed by a custom driver or program.
by total? likely malitious .exe programs if executed by the user on accident, or javascript .js files if autorun ones, associated to some file/page to be executed without user knowing (data insertion, email hidden javascript, or a miriad of other attacks using this files that are supposed to run on background on web pages - those damned cookies are mostly javascript).
I think I’d be happy with a device that only displayed text and only let me type text. For everything else worth doing, a VHS and a good old cathode ray would be fine. Modern tech seems far too vulnerable.
To be honest, I do like the visual perks of javascript, but having it literally everywhere is just inefficient. HTML+CSS had the advantage of running on a fucking potato with less risks, but you could do just blogs, difficult user interaction (done by email back in the day iirc).

ranking the bad is hard.
