Mining Blocker: Blocks Cryptocurrency Mining Scripts

Prevent unauthorized cryptocurrency mining on websites with Mining Blocker, a browser extension that protects your resources and CPU power.

What is Mining Blocker?

Mining Blocker is a browser extension available for Google Chrome and Firefox that blocks cryptocurrency mining scripts on websites. It works by preventing sites from running coinhive and other browser-based mining scripts that utilize visitors' CPU power and system resources to mine cryptocurrencies like Monero without their knowledge or consent.

As more websites have started using these mining scripts as an alternative revenue source to advertising, Mining Blocker helps users take back control of their browsing experience. The extension maintains a frequently updated blacklist of domains known to run mining scripts. When enabled, it blocks requests to these domains and stops the scripts from loading and using CPU.

In addition to improving browsing performance by blocking unwanted mining activity, Mining Blocker also helps users save on electricity costs and extend laptop battery life. Since mining scripts can utilize 100% of available CPU resources if left unchecked, blocking them reduces power consumption and heat generation.

With an easy-to-use toggle switch to turn blocking on or off and a simple, lightweight interface, Mining Blocker provides an unobtrusive way for users to browse the web safely without having their devices slowed down or hardware degraded by unauthorized mining scripts running in the background.
