Trying all available extensions doesn't make this extension any differences from others. Some of the websites still manage to mine without consent. Try these URL's and see yourself. http://bonusbitcoin.co/faucet http://moonbit.co.in/ http://moonbitcoin.cash/faucet and many more. Those websites manage to go around it some how.
