minerBlock: Powerful Browser Extension Blocking Crypto Miners
minerBlock is an innovative Chrome extension designed to block browser-based cryptocurrency miners all over the web. It employs two distinct approaches to prevent cryptojacking. The first methodology entails blocking scripts loaded from a blacklist, much like traditional ad-blockers. The second approach, which differentiates minerBlock, involves detecting potential mining activity within loaded scripts and immediately neutralizing these threats. This dual strategy enables minerBlock to also block inline scripts and miners running through proxies, thus offering comprehensive protection against browser-based crypto miners.
