> Looks like a blacklist extension to their ad blocker

In the blog post comments section they say they're using this block list:

https://github.com/hoshsadiq/adblock-nocoin-list

The list is compatible with other blockers like uBlock Origin and Adblock Plus so you can add it to your blocker if you want to.

By default uBlock Origin already includes a Resource Abuse block list which has many of the same entries as this list. I'm not sure how much the two lists overlap, but if uBlock Origin's Resource Abuse list already has all of the entries from this list then obviously there's no gain in adding it.



Is cryptojacking really this common these days? Is there an easy way outside of using these lists to detect if a site is attempting this?
