How good is safari secured from malware?

I had this on mind. How good is safari en does it block malware sites? Like does safari give a pop-up if you visit a site that has malware (when you click on the link) so you don’t go visit it? And I know About the scam pop-ups. But does safari do that? And from Google image Search results by just looking at them is , there then a change of malware? So how safe is safari from malware/how high are the changes of malware throught safari. (And the device isn’t jailbroken).

I’ve noticed with popup blocker on it still pops up if there is malicious code. Like on cricfree like sites clicking what appears to be a video, but pops spam/scam window (one to a few times then you can see the stream). It can even open the App Store, which is odd since they are pirate sites selling apps AAPL approved 😆.

What kind of sites are you on? Most of the time sites that give such popups (like malvertising) aren't sites where you should be on
