I haven't used it long enough to know if it's detecting actual inline mining scripts but it definitely has false positives, I think if a website even mentions mining or how to get started mining like on getmonero.com...it will flag it. getmonero.com definitely does NOT have a miner on their site it's the official site. It just has links and information about mining.

Ох, огромное СПАСИБО !!!! То, что нужно... Срабатывает, чуток с задержкой, но определяет и блокирует майнеры на сайтах очень даже хорошо, лучше, чем ожидалось...
