MinerBlock: Effective Anti-Cryptojacking Extension
MinerBlock is a powerful browser extension for Firefox designed to enhance security and privacy by blocking cryptocurrency miners. This subscription-based tool employs two main strategies to combat cryptojacking: a traditional blacklist approach and a more advanced detection method. By utilizing a list of known malicious scripts, MinerBlock effectively prevents unwanted mining activity, ensuring a smoother browsing experience.
The extension's innovative detection mechanism identifies suspicious mining behavior within scripts and terminates them instantly. This dual-layered approach allows MinerBlock to block not only requests from known miners but also inline scripts and those operating through proxies. As a result, users can browse the web with confidence, knowing they are protected from the increasing threat of cryptojacking.
