Blocks cryptocurrency miners all over the web.
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.

Latest reviews
- (2022-03-21) Bram B: 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.
- (2022-02-20) Prickley: thank goodness for this. cryptocurrency and NFTs are a scam that take up a ridiculous amount of energy for no benefit.
- (2022-02-03) o: no funciona no detecta si la pagina esta minando
- (2021-12-24) Sami Ryan: 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.
- (2021-10-29) 305 ARMENTA MARTINEZ ASLAN: La verdad hay mejores pero es el unico que funciona en la Web Store
- (2021-06-27) Youcef Baalicherif: za3ma
- (2021-06-05) Larry Browning: 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
- (2021-04-15) Meo Chan: Not working anymore
- (2021-03-20) Ibrahim Ali: احببته لانه جدا مفيد
- (2021-03-06) kdtorres: Binance bring me here :)
- (2021-02-15) Dock.: This blocked the bitcoin miner like 80% of the time and I think that is amazing.
- (2020-12-26) L.ANDRE: En cinecalidad.to lo bloqueaba ahora no mas no ACTUALICEN EL PROGRAMA URGE
- (2020-11-11) Alex Muthengi: Actually works
- (2020-10-19) Javier Narese: 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.
- (2020-10-13) Car_Car: Works well
- (2020-09-29) Jose Paolucci: No sirve para nada
- (2020-09-26) Apekiller: Webpages like wikipedia and imdb are freezing for at least 30-60 seconds when this extension is enabled.
- (2020-09-12) Nawapat Buakoet: สุดยอดครับ ใช้งานได้ดีมาก บางอัน ก็ใช้ไม่ได้ แต่อันนี้ใช้ได้จริงครับสุดยอดมา่กกก
- (2020-03-07) sdfasd: 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.
- (2020-02-24) Ibra Ta: it works with me!
- (2019-12-14) Alex Correa: Thanks you!!
- (2019-11-24) Karabas TV: На twitch.tv виснет стрим при просмотре когда minerblock включен, поэтому придется попрощаться с этим расширением
- (2019-11-12) Javier Ochoa: Funciona!
- (2019-08-12) Lewis Dexter Litanzios: 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
- (2019-07-26) Ojay “OjayisOjay” Ojay: Does what it claims with aplomb.
- (2019-07-17) Mr.RedWhite: 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.
- (2019-06-04) Carlos: funciona de 10 super recomendado quede impresionado gracias.
- (2019-04-08) Andrew Jeff: Brilliant extension.
- (2019-03-27) Отличная вещь!!...А я-то все думал :" ..что так сайт сильно "тянет"?.....потом доперло! - майнер подлючается втихушку!!..оценка - на 5+....по крайней мере пока на 5+...
- (2019-02-21) Perfetto!
- (2019-02-09) Jonathan: Works perfectly! Nothing fishy either! Love it.
- (2019-01-31) Afsal Khan: Nice to have
- (2019-01-29) Arya Putra: Does this extension whitelisted YTS? I don't know, but I'm glad if they really removed their mining scripts. Overall, great extension for Chrome and I really hope this will get the support it deserve from users and developer.
- (2019-01-05) Gabriel Santana Silva: Por enquanto ta tudo tranquilo !
- (2019-01-04) Szlacki Attila: It works, better than other blockers.
- (2018-12-30) K M: Le seul qui a marchait pour moi sur 10 plugins anti mining
- (2018-12-25) jim bergström: Toimii
- (2018-12-21) Vince FTW: I seldom write reviews for chrome extensions but really, this extension detects and successfully blocks Javascript based bitcoin miners based on the pirate websites I visited 👌. This is a must have extension together with an adblocker since an adblocker can't really detect all types of hidden scripts.
- (2018-12-11) Cartoon Star: This is actually the only mining blocker which works, i tried several of the ones listed but they didn't work as intended
- (2018-12-02) BADBOYDOC: มีการอัพเดทตลอด
- (2018-12-01) Alex Wong: It works. that's pretty much it
- (2018-11-16) Henri Sainio: Ainut joka toimii ja aktiivinen kehittäjä. // Used this both on Firefox and Chrome, Best blocker for Mining scripts. The only one that works. Good work!
- (2018-11-10) Fardin Arafat: genial
- (2018-10-22) Олег Благодарь: хорошо работает.. Спасибо.. а на каком сайте..не скажу..а то те адрес сменят.. .. болтун-находка для шпиона
- (2018-10-18) Emil Atanasov: Най-доброто!
- (2018-09-29) Armand Burger: Works like a champ. Haven't struggled with any browser miners since adding this extension.
- (2018-09-28) Weverson Gomes: Funziona perfettamente
- (2018-08-20) Sarah Andressa L Castro: Meu desempenho no notebook melhorou na hora! Thank's very much!
