Should I be worried?

So a pop up ad came a while back and said that a lot of viruses were found after visiting an adult website. And I did not visit one. It makes scene thought, that I’m a kid, and that adults have been targeting kids iPhones for a long time making them install apps that can actually give the iPhone a virus or two. Here is an aftermath screenshot of my privacy report. Thank god for Safari’s privacy.

You do not have to worry about any pop up as long as you do not provide them with any personal information. You will not be able to install any virus from a website no matter what these fake messages tell you. The trackers that Safari blocks are not viruses, they just prevent advertisers/websites from being able gather information that could be used to uniquely identify your activities.
