I do get that one wants to be careful when it comes to viruses, but just outright not believing others without doing your own research is just as harmful as blindly believing in something. If you don’t have precautions against websites running malicious code (e.g. ublock origin), you’re already treading on dangerous ground regardless. Doubly so if you don’t make snapshots.
If you really want to be paranoid you can also click the link inside a USB image, or a sandbox.
I would however advise doing research on winehq.org if you are running Linux, since it’s generally a good resource for running Windows apps.
Whole bunch of people trying to get me to click this sus link…
You’re never gonna do it.

Wine is a tool that lets you run Windows programs on Linux or MacOS and WineHQ is a database of how well certain programs or games work with it
