more and more sites are starting to use cryptocurrency mining scripts
    #25030636 -

Many of them use all of your CPUs resources, constantly pushing your device to the limit for no reason (other than to benefit themselves).

If they give you a heads up and you don't mind, then fine, but a lot of them don't.


There are different ways to block this, such as browser extensions like NoCoin or even AdBlock (with AdBlock you have to manually enter

into your blocked urls list).



Anyway, just thought I'd throw this out there.

It's nice when they tell you and do this instead of advertisements.

Imagine mobile sites/apps doing this with people's phone data :uhoh:

Don't worry about me, I've got all that I need. And I'm singing my song to the sky

You know how it feels, With the breeze of the sun in your eyes. Not minding that time's passing by

I've got all and more, My smile, just as before. Is all that I carry with me

I talk to myself, I need nobody else. I'm lost and I'm mine, yes I'm free

Isn't it optional though? There was also a stickied post for awhile telling everyone.
