Blocks cryptocurrency miners all over the web.

minerBlock
Description from store

MinerBlock is an efficient browser extension that aims to block browser-based cryptocurrency miners all over the web.

The extension uses two different approaches to block miners. The first one is based on blocking requests/scripts loaded from a blacklist, this is the traditional approach adopted by most ad-blockers and other mining blockers.

The other approach which makes MinerBlock more efficient against cryptojacking is detecting potential mining behavior inside loaded scripts and kills them immediately.

This makes the extension able to block inline scripts as well as miners running through proxies.

Bad aproach towards blocking miners (name-based). It blocks anything with miner.js in it's content. Which is horrible for hundreds of thousands of webstores running on magento and using Vertex Address validation (nearly every Magento store). The address validation uses a javascript named difference-determiner.js ; and because it ends in miner.js it will be blocked by this addon. Disabling Magento check-out pages.

I use this extension all the time but I don't think I came across any mining website, just out of curiosity, can add you a test website in the description section so users can test the extension in action to be sure about its functionality. I rate this extension 5 stars: 1st star for the regular updates, 2nd star for the ui design 3rd star for the options 4th star for the tech support 5th star for functionality of the code e.g. static/dynamic blocking and its small size.

I tried 4 extensions before this one and all of them failed where minerBlock succeeded. Even though this website is upfront about using your CPU, you might find it a good testing tool when proving if your blocker is working: https://uptobox.com/dy8wlphgjfp0 -- does what it says and uses 20% of the CPU, which you can confirm in the Task Manager under Details: chrome.exe

La extensión es realmente mala, te avisa de un sitio minado pero como sabemos realmente q es así no te señala scripts ni nada, los comparé con 6 extensiones diferentes y en un sitio q daba positivo "Falso positivo" las otras 6 extensiones daban negativo. No todo lo que brilla es oro no se dejen engañar e investiguen un poco mas.

Doesn't work on pirate bay. One of the comment said it doesn't block coinhive since the users opt in voluntarily but pirate bay doesn't have any option to opt out of it nor does it inform the users of mining out of its visitors' cpu. Very disappointing.

It works, and would get 5 stars, but has performance issues with http://wikipedia.org (i.e. locks up the browser [Vivaldi] on page load for a few seconds) so I had to disable it If you're unable to reproduce then let me know and I'll create an issue or else good luck with the fix; I'll update my rating then chrome.google.com-emikbbbebcdfohonlaifafnoanocnebl@ldexterldesign.uk Regards

Auf der Website http://www.abi-physik.de lädt man sich jedesmal einen CyrptoMiner.Gen herunter, das Addon hilft gar nicht. Nur dank meiner Virensoftware wird dieser Versuch jedes Mal erkannt und entsprechend von gelöscht. Habe das Addon direkt wieder runtergeschmissen.
