Thanks for sharing this and I've read the reviews about no coin.
I wonder why there are people who are commenting there that it's not working for them. However I'll give a shot on it too.
Does anyone know if there is a list of websites that are mining through their visitors browsers? It will be helpful too if someone will give that list.

Thanks for that! It's been a while since I added a new extension to my browser to catch what I'd consider malware, I have been suspicious of certain sites in the past but couldn't really prove it, so I'll give this No Coin a whirl for my Chrome... half a million users and a GitHub page are good enough for me, not the other two though...
Not actually sure if the Coinhive debacles all over piratebay and showtime have meant that other software exist, but better to be safe than sorry, as they say.

I've noticed more and more cryptocurrency related sites are running Bitcoin and Altcoin mining on their websites. I don't know about the rest of you but I am getting tired of it. I would support smaller projects and websites if they let users know. None of them see to be open about saying they are running miners.
I would recommend installing the following if you are not already running them:
Chrome
NoMiner - Chrome
No Coin! - Chrome
minerBlock - Chrome
Firefox
NoMiner - Firefox
No Coin! - Firefox
minerBlock - Firefox
Opera
No Coin! - Opera
minerBlock - Opera
Safari
Unknown
Safari from my understanding does not have any approved miner blockers in their extension store.
Thank you for sharing this up!This would really be helpful for those people who don't really like to be used as an apparatus for others to do mine for them.Even though I'm not using these extensions my ESET nod32 do automatically detects if I do access a site which do have coinminer. I can block it anytime and it do really sucks that those websites doesn't really inform their users that they are already using surfers cpu computing power for their own benefit.

Think this belongs more in Software area than here but thass up to the mods.
Good list. As you said, being informed about a site using mining vs ads on it is one thing, just mining in the background with no apparent benefit to the person who is browsing is a whole different thing. Screw that noise!
Now if those jerks behind the cryptotab ads could be blocked from the Forum just as easily....

Brave solves all these problems.
