[BearHug]

If You are unaware, The Most famous torrent site "The Pirate Bay" is using Your Computer's CPU to Mine a Cryptocurrency called "Monero"! You can easily block any Website from doing so by using an extension called minerBlock or No Coin in Google Chrome. You Can use NoScript Security Suite in Firefox to do so.

NoScript is very good, I have used it in FF for years.

I don't know though how many other browsers it works with, from what I know it is only for
Firefox ?

Or you can add nocoin filterlist to ublock origin or other adblockers directly: GitHub - hoshsadiq/adblock-nocoin-list: A list for uBlock/Adblock plus to stop cryptomining in your browser.

MinorBlock is better

For No Coin

This is an adblock list to block browser based crypto mining. Currently only coin-hive is on the list. If you see another website doing this deed, feel free to raise an issue or raise a PR.

For MinorBlock

A web extension to block known web-based cryptocurrency miners all over the web.

I wish minerblock had adblock filter. Already have too many extensions.

Maybe Nocoin!

Maybe Nocoin!

Sadly they don't provide an extension for Safari and do not intend to.

There are many, ublock advanced mode, umatrix, scriptsafe. I used all 3 from time to time and they work perfectly but require effort so i eventually remove them.

Same here umatrix was a pain. How good is scriptsafe?

All are the same. They require effort until you visit all your websites and sort them. It's impossible to use if you visit new websites all the time and don't want to waste time sorting them.

I wonder if uBlock Origin (Medium mode) will block these kinds of web activity. I guess it would block if the source is 3rd party script and not 1st party.
