Summary
BlockCoin is a browser extension designed to effectively prevent cryptocurrency miners from operating within web browsers. Its objective is to block these miners across all websites.
The extension uses two methods to stop miners from working. First, it blocks requests that are loaded from a predefined blacklist, which is a common technique used by ad-blockers and mining blockers. The second method involves detecting possible mining activities within loaded scripts and quickly stopping them.
