  Well that is certainly youtube.com, a video streaming website containing a ton of trackers, gathering user data to serve them targeted ads, incorporated in the datakraken “Alphabet” which controls half of the web and has its Javascript embedded everywhere, asking you to sign in and connecting your browsing behavior even without signing in or using their search engine or browser or OS or mobile OS.

  So yeah, no idea what you mean by malicious link and if you dont use basic security measurements like DNS adblock, ublock origin and a modern browser… but you could call it malicious anyways
