Windows 10: can someone hack you by sending you a link to google?

someone in a public discord server sent a link, and it lead to a page of google images. i just wanted to know is it possible for someone to hack someone or send malware to them if they sent a link which lead to a normal website and doesnt look dangerous?keeping in mind that there were no warnings when i clicked he link.

Hi,

Since you already uninstalled Google Chrome using the Programs and Features, Google notifications may still be running in the background processes. We suggest that you follow these steps on how to end the Google Chrome process:

• On your keyboard, press Ctrl+Alt+Delete.
• Select Task Manager.
• Under Processes, locate Google Notifications or Google Chrome.
• Right click on them and select End Task.
• Double check under Programs and Features if Google Chrome is completely gone.

Let us know if these steps worked.
