ZeroNet is very unsafe, so only visit websites you trust. Since it's downloaded onto you computer, you can quite easily get a virus (and back when I used it, at least, there was a big CP scare). A lot of the websites also have bitcoin miners, which your computer will consider to be a virus.

The threat of viruses and lack of content is why I stopped using it years ago. There's just nothing there to justify the risk.

Unlike Freenet you can choose what you seed. So unless you are enabling CDN services with miners and CP it's fairly safe, just unpin and delete anything you find objectional. That said, I wish it wasn't so JS heavy. Leaving JS on is definitely risky business.
