⚡ CoinBlock blocks services like CoinHive from using your browser to mine cryptocurrency without your consent.

Chrome Web Store

What?

CoinBlock is a browser extention that blocks requests to browser mining services. It currently works in the chrome browser, with support for other browsers on the way.

Why?

recently, some sites have turned to cryptocurrency mining for revenue. While not inheritly evil, I belive that mining without the users consent is wrong.

Mining in your browser:

  • can consume huge amounts of resources
  • can slow down your browser
  • makes for a negative browsering expirence

How?

Use:

  • Install the extention for your browser of choice
  • Load the source as an unpacked extention

Contribute:

  • A bug or bugfix
  • Feature requests
  • Blacklist updates
