minerBlock

Blocks cryptocurrency miners all over the web.

What is minerBlock?

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.

Extension summary

Analyze keywords

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.
