How to prevent sites from using your computer resources to mine digital currencies

in mining •  7 years ago 

"CoinHive"...This new method that most websites resort to instead of ads that were "annoying the user".
Although this system has been set up to please the user from the trouble of appearing ads, a lot of people have denounced this step and they have the right to do so.

As we all know, mining is a cumbersome process that uses a lot of computer resources and can cause hardware crashes .This is one of the disadvantages of this method of generating profits

Fortunately, there is a solution if you do not want your computer to be used as a mining platform.
Swiss programmer Rafael Keramidas has found a way to prevent this new service from working on your computer by adding a simple extension to your browser called "No Coin", which can be downloaded from this link:

This extension works in practice as an ad blocker, but only for this new tool, which prevents this service from capturing computer resources and thus preventing it from mining.
