If you define a browser without a content blocker as 'malware' the answer is 'yes, you have malware installed'. Get a content blocker - uBlock Origin works fine in Firefox and still works in Chromium - and take the road to sanity. As far as I'm concerned the commercial web is unusable without at least a single layer of defence against advertisements and advertisers, preferably several layers - DNS or hosts file, content blocker, etc.
