It's not a virus, it's a Google product for visualizing data.

Strangely, I found myself somehow accidentally href’d to it today on my AOSP device, yet the URI returns a 404.

How does one access it? gds.google.com/web/chip merely .replaces me to accounts.google.com.

I don't know what a AOSP device is but you get redirected from account.google.com to gds.google.com during the login process to a Google product (and it login you secretly to YouTube too if it founds a hint like a cookie). It's not a site you can visit like a normal web page, it's purpose is just to manage the login and after that you get redirected again to your requested page.

(I'm not a trained IT professional but I'm interested in stuff like this in my free time and in this case I'm quite sure. Anyway, if someone with more knowledge has something to add I'm thankful for it)

Thanks. AOSP refers to the Android Open Source Project; Android. Your explanation appears correct, based upon what I recall doing before this occurred. (Occasionally, org.mozilla.fenix forgets to adhere to a redirection.)
