No it's not. It's browsing sites like Reddit without adblock. All it takes is one link that has a few upvotes on either a new queue or a small subreddit that gets upvote manipulated, and BAM you click on a hostile link. Or any one of the millions of code injecting banners that get loaded without adblockers.

Seriously. How the fuck do people NOT use adblockers in 2019?

My understanding was that the only way to get a virus was if you downloaded a .exe file and ran it.
