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. | |

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. | |

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 |
