minerBlock Extension

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.

Bram B (ID: 000000f9ba9085f8) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 03/21/2022 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.

Sami Ryan (ID: 000000cf780d2c79) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/24/2021 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.
