Get ublock origin if you don’t have it

I'm a firefox guy but it's all preference. Definitely swap out adblock plus for ublock origin though.
If you willing to spend some money, find a VM and see if anything bad happens. These types of VM companys won’t allow viruses and will warn you when such viruses happen.
With a bit of basic VM knowledge, this operation can be done for free. I run VMs myself to run certain macros and some windows stuff. As i am primarily a linux user.
EDIT: BUt good point @firecat . I think a VM should do the trick.
If you are technically versed, any.run can often give a good overview over the goals of the malware. You have to sign up and then upload your executable.
