          Simply clicking a link to open a website would never infect your machine.

          Exploit to escape the js sandbox exists, there is a dozen brower 0day per year.

          Only certain files are loaded in websites

          Any files are downloaded and loaded, javascript can download arbitrary file in memory, browser too if the server serves incorrect MIME types.

          Downloading files to your machine carries a much bigger risk.

          The files are downloaded on your machines either case, when the browser do it, it still write the files on disk in it’s cache.

          That’s how the internet works.

          Given your other comments, I’d argue you dont know how it works.

              You clearly don’t know why Chrome uses such massive amounts of RAM.

              You clearly have no idea how modern browsers works.

              Those are checked by the browser and any mismatch is highlighted as suspicious.

              Yep, you have no idea, you spew nonsense.

              Go ask AI again to help you reply again.

              You should ask AI, you would learn something.
              I dont need, I worked as a dev on webapps, so I know what a browser do.
              Let me introduce you to: caching.
              https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_cache
              Which store on disk all the thing the browser query.

                  So much of a developer you must be if you are unfamiliar with the “Resource blocked due to MIME type mismatch”.

                  Good you used chatgpt, now ask it if it’s foolproof or not. I know it’s not, you can smuggle executables in images or various other ways.

                  You didn’t knew that the browsed cached web requests a second ago.
                  You didn’t knew basic functionality phone functionality for basic internet hygiene either.

                  And now you try to make me think you know things ?

                  Please explain.

                  Mosts requests your browser make, is written on disk for caching, you claimed no, it was stored in memory and that’s why chrome take so much ram, right there:

                  You clearly don’t know why Chrome uses such massive amounts of RAM.

                  Then

                  Downloading files to your machine carries a much bigger risk.

                  Which is simply wrong, as long as you don’t do anything with the file. The file instead of being in the cache, would just be in your download folder.
