[@sylussquared9724]

That depends on your definition of downloading, does adding a browser extension count as downloading? If so then unless you are being hunted by governments and keep everything up to date its extremely unlikely, nigh impossible to get malware from a web browser without downloading anything. To get malware without downloading anything requires a zero day vulnerability worth many millions. Such vulnerabilities are not used on normal every day people.

[@Ethan_Mcfly]

this is why I love adblockers

[@wildbill4496]

It depends on the browser you are using. I saw something recently that Google is working on a way to cripple/make non-functional existing adblockers in a future release of any Chromium based browser. I don't remember the details, but I believe it had to do with moving to a new version of some API. I also think it was intended to be released before the end of the year. I think, because it is not Chromium based, that Firefox was one browser mentioned that would not be affected.

[@MTGeomancer]

@@wildbill4496 That's Manifest V3. And yes, Firefox is immune because it is not Chromium based. The entire point of Google's implementation of V3 is to remove adblockers like on their Android browser (and again, Firefox on android does allow addons including adblockers). I'm sure adblockers will (if they havne't already) find a way around V3, but Google's priorities should be very clear and I would not suggest a Chromium based browser to anyone.

[@XioJN]
