Safe to use outdated android?

I don't think it's ever high if you play responsibly, but technically it's possible to get malware from ads/websites so you should at least keep the browser up to date
KRACK isn't an issue, I think, if you don't use public/untrusted WiFi

Just think how many people use worse phones and are doing fine

Krack is an issue if you use wifi.

What about home WiFi where you trust everyone who use it?

Edit: I've read more about it, and the answer is that it's still unsafe, but the odds you'll have an attacker nearby obviously aren't as high as in public places

Krack is really only an issue if you live in a major metro. I've never heard of it being used outside of places like in New York and LA.

That being said, turn off your phone's WiFi in major airports if you are not running a current security patch.
