I thought they removed the in-browser link? Does your extension still work?

Likewise, I could swear that the first couple of times I had to use Zoom there was a clean/clear/large font option to "use web", and after some time they must have removed it (or changd the font to white and set it to 3).

I use WindowsFirewallControl (WFC) by BiniSoft (think ZoneAlarmPro) and "Allow" very specific executables to reach the internet. In that case, the Install/Uninstall.exe would cause an alarm, and I would (of course) "Block" it.

I know this is not a solution for (ahem) elderly, but it can work for the majority of 'us'.

The in-browser link is hidden till you click the button to launch the zoom client app. Then, the link appears.

According to a different comment it is hidden by default.
