mining right through the cpu?
I ask for a more detailed explanation about it, because I am a beginner and why there is no future for mining through the browser is there a lot of fraud in it?

Of course YES.
Some script applied to the website to access our CPU resource for doing mining. As this comment said:

mining is to compute, compute need computing power, how browser can provide any computing power?

i'm pretty sure he's talking about mining via OTHER PEOPLE that connect to a website that you yourself are operating.

Yeah maybe. Cheesy

AFAIK, there is two type of this kind of "~~mining~~" that existed now.

- The websites that offer us for doing mining through the browser and they'll pay us back.

- The websites that were doing silent mining, their visitors don't know that this website will access our CPU resources and do mining for the site owner.

Both have almost the same ways of working. Then I can say for sure (as my above said) "No future for this kind of ~~mining~~"

I now earn monero through the browser on the site. There is little money now. Does this business have a future?

No there is no future for this , if you are mining threw browser that means you are probably not have the right equipment to do a real proper mining , you are using your personal computer resources and heating it for something not worth it .

If you have a real strong cpu or gpu that can do proper mining I recommend you to do mining threw a mining software .

Browser mining is a big NO NO .

yeah, I know about it. 3 months ago I tried on my PC using VBScript just wanted to know if it worked/Not and it worked fine.

but I do not recommend it let alone use someone else's property without a permit.

The Pirate Bay is doing the same thing. anyone who uses their website will have their CPU mining XMR to the website owner's address. the case of youtube ads minning while watching a video was the same thing

a bit of code and no power costs. sure CPUs are slow, but if you have a site that gets millions of visitors, then you can make some good gains. honestly it's pretty similar to a bot miner, but only active while you are on the website. so you have the choice to visit that site or not.

i see nothing wrong with it as long as you are upfront about it.

let's look at the reasons why almost all miners don't recommend to mine using a CPU or Browser:

For now, some miners in other countries have shutdown/sold their GPUs because can no longer take a profit one of them because is electricity cost. GPU alone can't make a profit anymore let alone just use CPU / Browser
CPU/Browser will have a bit hashrate.
Just a waste of time if you want to get a profit from the CPU/ Browser.

No future for this kind of "mining" Cheesy

Basically, when you are doing "mining" through your browser, you were doing mining using your CPU resources, then why didn't you doing the right way to do mining using your CPU?
