Is there a concrete way to fully block Crypto Miners for Firefox? I have NoCoin on by default on Opera. Also looking at maybe adding it for FF, whilst also looking at Mining Blocker extension too.

Any advice is very much welcomed.

  1. My AV is Avast, not quite sure if detect miners.
  2. I'll look deeper into uBlock Origin settings
  3. BlackFog seems to be a paid software :p
  4. I'll look into MinerOff by Heilig Defense
Thanks for all the suggestions!

FYI, on my tablet Mining Blocker has a warning script issue with FF and causes slow down. If you need a coin blocker extension I'll suggest you use Coin Mining Blocker instead. So far no warning message from FF
