Be aware that clicking on a malicious url can result
on malware or spyware being installed on your machine without any further action on your
part. All browsers have vulnerabilities. The most famous of these was the older version of
Pegasus by NSO back in the 2014-2016 timeframe. These so called 1-click exploits are well
known to bad actors. It’s a continuous cat and mouse game between exploit writers and
infosec. For the interested, look at this report regarding Apple and the “Trident” series
of exploits from 2016.
