Question Email link

I got a link in my email that looked legit and clicked on the link. It sent me to a website but chrome said the website may be dangerous and asked if I wanted to continue or go back, I pressed go back. I look in my chrome downloads and it says nothing, just “files you download appear here” so I don’t think it downloaded anything. I don’t think I even entered the website. Do yall think I’m safe? (Just a anxiety question)

Yes, you are safe. If the website was actually blocked by chrome the website hasn't loaded yet.

Edit: Of course there is the possibility of a zero day, but that chance is extremely small. I wouldn't worry about this.
