As a millenial: i have no idea. I haven't seen ads on a download page in such a long time. Really takes me back...

It's still prevalent, even with uBlock, if you try to pirate from direct-download sites.

I don't see the tiny blue link, so probably none.

Adblock, also if you're not sure you can inspect element

The most plain looking one, or the one left after AdBlock has hidden all the rest. Or depending on the site and how far into it you've clicked, potentially none of them because it'll start automatically after a few moments in some places.

None of them.

The bottom one downloads malware.

The rest of them are the malware itself if you dare to click.
