So I’ve heard that this is the best website for watching movies, as it doesn’t have any ads and doesnt redirect you anywhere or anything like that. However, the site plays videos from other sites, which do contain malware, and I’ve heard that you can get a virus from simply playing a video online. So while movie-web itself won’t give you a virus, will playing a movie on it give you one (assuming you don’t have an adblocker)? Thanks.
Videos don’t contain malware because videos aren’t software.
It’s theoretically possible that a video will take advantage of a security flaw in a video player, including a browser video player, but I’m not aware of such cases having occurred. As long as you keep your software up to date, it’s probably not worth worrying about.
