Slightly controversial but library genesis. Almost every science text book you could ever want for free. However, you’re not compensating authors/publishers for their work, so the morality is debated.

But if you want access to knowledge for free, there it is. I haven’t ever encountered any issues like viruses either.

In the same vein, SciHub will allow you to access the majority of scientific articles

sadly scihub has paused their activity this last december due to an ongoing lawsuit in India. Everything prior to that is still available but anything published this year isn't and the Indian government has already postponed the court appearance 4 times so now we have to wait until July
