FYI for anyone thinking it’s a link to a website, it’s NOT. It’s a file download. I hate it when people hide the actual URL. I don’t want to download any files!
Simply clicking a link to open a website would never infect your machine. Only certain files are loaded in websites, like images, html, css, and JavaScript runs in a sandbox. I.e. you are safe clicking links, browsing the web and letting the browser handle security of those website files.
Downloading files to your machine carries a much bigger risk.
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.

I would hope so, the url ends in /download
You can’t see the fucking URL. That’s my WHOLE point!
hold it
pretty sure we’re using the same client
Thanks
The blue is not the url you will go to. You can hover the link, and it will display the url on the bottom left of your screen.
For example, clicking here, wont get you to bing, but to google www.bing.com
Is it not obvious from the screenshot that I am on a phone? And phones don’t have hover.
You can ‘view souce’ to see the link as well.
Some phone apps do display the link url below the post body. I use voyager and it looks like this
You can hold the touch…
Edit: to show you can do it.
More specifically, it’s an xlsx spreadsheet.
Not that showing the URL would’ve revealed that information. The URL includes the word “download” but that doesn’t really say much.

So you just happily download malware and viruses from random URLs? Good to know.
I’m getting ready a download file just for people like you. I will let you download it as soon as it’s ready.
Can you just tell me what OS are you using?

That’s how the internet works.
Exploit to escape the js sandbox exists, there is a dozen brower 0day per year.
Any files are downloaded and loaded, javascript can download arbitrary file in memory, browser too if the server serves incorrect MIME types.
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.
Given your other comments, I’d argue you dont know how it works.

I guess you might still be using Netscape.

Please explain.
Modern browsers sandbox everything from js execution, css interpretation, html rendering, image decoding, media streaming, pdfs, extensions and so on.
By default, secure browsers never execute anything, cached or not, outside of sandbox.
So much of a developer you must be if you are unfamiliar with the “Resource blocked due to MIME type mismatch”.
