minerBlock utilizes two approaches for blocking miners; blocking requests/scripts loaded from a blacklist, and the other detects potential mining behavior inside loaded scripts, killing them immediately, making MinerBlock more efficient against crypto-jacking. MinerBlock will intercept inline scripts as well as miners running through proxies.

Crypto miners can negatively impact your machine's performance and potentially cause it to crash. Blocking through an extension/add-on like BlockMiner is one way to thwart miners coupled with an up-to-date antivirus solution, exercising discretion while browsing, and not clicking unknown origin links, etc.

Numerous pre-loaded blocked items can be viewed from minerBlock's settings. If you find a new crypto-jacking method, you can add it in settings.
