Thanks!

(Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, wasn't sure where to put it.)

As most of the folks here would be using ad\script blockers, few would have ever seen the miner.

To disable firefox addons such as blockers,

Another way is to use noscript and process hacker, temporarily enabling each script until you find the one that jumps up cpu usage by 5 or more percent on a steady basis. Make a note of its url and permanently enable it. I have had less luck enabling scripts with ublock origin. YMMV

Hey there all, it seems like the site has actually stopped mining crypto in the background.  Are there any plans to bring that back soon? :-)
