Features & Capabilities

minerBlock is a powerful Chrome extension designed to protect users from browser-based cryptocurrency miners (cryptojacking) across the web. It employs dual methods to ensure efficient blocking: traditional blacklist-based filtering of known mining scripts and advanced detection of mining behavior within scripts to stop cryptojackers immediately. This dual approach allows minerBlock to block even inline mining scripts and those running via proxies, providing comprehensive protection for your browsing experience.

The extension is open source, with its code available on GitHub, fostering transparency and community collaboration. minerBlock is a reliable solution for users looking to enhance security and improve browser performance by preventing unauthorized mining activities.

Is minerBlock Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

minerBlock requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

minerBlock has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
