Browsers really should make that the default setting, I’m not sure why they don’t. I’ve made websites before and the user doesn’t even have to click anything, you can start the download as soon as the site is loaded. (unless of course they turned on that setting)
It depends on what the file is but sometimes it can be executed automatically. Just like when you download chrome extensions it's runned without any clicks so it's kinda fucked anyway (to be fair it doesn't seem like it but you never know)
@@hablo_papøl I mean chrome extensions are just .crx files it download in the background, if your internet is slow you can see the download. But I just tried some things and I don't think they run automatically anymore if you just download a random one. There is still somewhat of a vulnerability because to run the extension once downloaded it only takes one click on 'Run extension' to execute the extension but they use to hide the button behind a popup or when you refused geo-localisation on websites. I once had a extension download itself and execute almost immediatly when I clicked "refuse to give localisation". Browsers might not work the same anymore because that was pretty fucked.

you can definitely get a virus without running the program.. many ways. one way is that they put the virus in the icon of the program so that when Windows Explorer displays it in the folder you get pwned. definitely don't download those things or click those links.
@@piedra7040This was true 20-30 years ago, but not today.

chrome extensions execute automatically because chrome runs the extension. Chrome doesn't run your downloads so it won't be executed automatically.

No that's because chrome is running it because you got it from their verified store. Files don't just run themselves after downloading.
why did bro keep clicking the buttons
