Fuck ads, they’re everywhere at every level. I want to see less of them, not more.

Risk is practically nothing in your case, because you’re being careful, and know what you’re doing. You won’t run a binary when you were expecting the Barbie movie, for example.

If you were downloading binaries, then your risk is significant, but even then, unless you’re downloading new releases immediately, it’s likely that your antivirus will catch the new popular ransomware after a few days, when a few thousands of people have become infected. Governments won’t employ valuable zero-days on any rando who just wants to see their new isekai episode.

Then maybe unchecked ads weren’t a good idea to begin with.

You could also go back, right click the link that took you to this file, and select “save as”.

Yup, with so many accounts we use today, and the necessity of having strong passwords, 2FA/TOTP, and not reusing passwords across accounts, a password manager is a basic necessity.

I’d still recommend Vaultwarden through VPN if you are used to manage servers, or a KeePass database synced through any cloud storage if you’re not into IT.

Turning into the weakest piece capable of checkmating in the next move is a brutal move, though.
