"You're safe as long as every device on the network you're on is safe" isn't safe.

In theory I should be able to take a modern browser/device over a completely compromised router and either be safe, or have my device tell me "holy shit, something is wrong".

The days of local trust should be long gone by now.

You are safe until you are a real target. The exploit someone have ready for your safe browser was not used yet in the wild.
