How to deal with Mining In Your Web Browser
#1
Few weeks ago I had this problem with The Pirate Bay Site. I use it to check pilot episodes of  new TV series and I have started feeling like somethings not right with PC. Seems little bit slow than it usually is. I always have several programs and lots of sites open so CPU usage is usually heavy. But this time it's extra slow so I tested software as well as sites in browser to see which one is the culprit. It was TPB. After checking about this online I learn they are using a codehive without saying to users.

.

But today its seems lots of sites using these codehive scripts specially sites like TPB and also those stream sites. Well, I don't mind if they do it with user permission and using acceptable level of CPU but it seems now this is getting out of hand. Not all virus guards detect these for now. Im sure they will start detecting these in future. So what you can do for now ?

.

There are few good Addons for Google Chrome. for example No Coin addon and MinerBlock addon works great.

I use MinerBlock for Firefox and it works pretty good.
