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 behaviour inside loaded scripts and kills them immediately. This makes the extension able to block inline scripts as well as miners running through proxies.\n\n# Credit\n- [Font Awesome](http://fontawesome.io/) by [Dave Gandy](https://github.com/davegandy)\n- Icon grabbed from [tools-and-utensils](https://www.shareicon.net/author/tools-and-utensils)\n\n# Donations\nAll donations are welcome and greatly appreciated.\n\n[\u003cimg src=\"icons/donations/paypal.svg\"\u003e](https://www.paypal.me/xd4rker/10)\n[\u003cimg src=\"icons/donations/btc.svg\"\u003e](https://blockchain.info/payment_request?address=1PYj4Bd6YwGzqjb46Ww6buGpTUEt3EZLx4)\n[\u003cimg src=\"icons/donations/eth.svg\"\u003e](https://etherdonation.com/d?to=0x3057b2648d905912ef511674aa3ffe9fcf5140db)\n[\u003cimg src=\"icons/donations/amazon.svg\"\u003e](https://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/QHAD9F3VEVJR)\n\n# Press\n- [The Wall Street Journal](https://www.wsj.com/articles/how-to-keep-cryptojackers-off-your-devices-as-bitcoin-soars-1513773371)\n- [TechRadar](https://www.techradar.com/how-to/how-to-protect-yourself-from-cryptomining)\n- [The Next Web](https://thenextweb.com/apps/2017/09/19/cpu-cryptocurrency-miner-blocker/)\n- [TorrentFreak](https://torrentfreak.com/cryptocurrency-miner-targeted-by-anti-virus-and-adblock-tools-170926/)\n- [CryptoCoinsNews](https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/pirate-bay-resumes-mining-monero-using-visitor-cpu-power/)\n- [The Hacker News](https://thehackernews.com/2017/10/coinhive-cryptocurrency-miner.html)\n- [Bleeping Computer](https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/a-new-player-joins-coinhive-on-the-browser-cryptojacking-scene/)\n- [Firstpost](http://www.firstpost.com/tech/news-analysis/how-to-keep-away-cryptocurrency-miners-away-from-chipping-away-at-your-cpu-4061301.html)\n- [Bad Packets Report](https://badpackets.net/how-to-find-cryptojacking-malware/)\n\nThe extension was also recommended by various CERTs around the world:\n- [SingCERT](https://www.csa.gov.sg/singcert/news/advisories-alerts/alert-on-browser-based-digital-currency-mining)\n- [VNCERT](http://english.mic.gov.vn/Pages/TinTuc/136048/VNCERT-orders-quick-action-against-CoinHive.html)\n- [CERT-IL](https://www.gov.il/he/Departments/publications/reports/cryptocurrency)\n- [CERT-RO](https://www.cert.ro/citeste/criptomoneda-minare-webiste-romania-coinhive)\n- [CERT-EE](https://blog.ria.ee/kruptorahad-ja-virtuaalne-kaevandamine/)\n- [KZ-CERT](http://www.kz-cert.kz/page/635)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fxd4rker%2FMinerBlock","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fxd4rker%2FMinerBlock","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fxd4rker%2FMinerBlock/lists"}
