When browsing using certain browsers, if a page is known to be malicious or using phishing techniques in the past, what might be displayed before allowing you to move forward?

When browsing the internet, if a browser detects that a page is associated with malicious activity or phishing attempts based on its history, it typically displays a warning page before allowing the user to proceed. This warning page is designed to alert the user to potential risks, providing information about the nature of the threat and advising caution.

The purpose of the warning page is to protect users from falling victim to scams or harmful software that could compromise personal information or the integrity of their device. This proactive approach informs users about the risks associated with the website they're attempting to visit, empowering them to make an informed decision about whether to continue or to navigate away from the dangerous site.

Other options do not directly serve as protective measures. For instance, advertisements do not provide any warning about malicious content; an error page typically indicates a failure in loading the requested resource rather than a caution about safety; and a confirmation page is usually involved in actions the user has already taken, like submitting information or completing a purchase, rather than warning against potential risks.
