Close the mines of the new Opera, goodbye Coinhive!

The 50th edition of the browser provides protection against miner websites with a simple trick.

A Malwarebyte We also reported about its discovery not so long ago; A quick but effective solution to the problem was made, making Opera the first to provide protection against such malicious websites at the factory.

Coinhive and others are battled by an integrated ad filter, and unwanted content is blocked by a “NoCoin” filter list. The service may not be activated by default, users will first need to turn on the ad blocker (this will be found in the settings right away) and then just subscribe to the aforementioned list. As this is a factory filter list, it will be updated automatically from now on, there is nothing to do with it from now on. It should be noted that “NoCoin” does not block individual websites, but only those services (typically JavaScript-based) that commit the resources of visitors ’computers to create virtual currency. The procedure can work in other browsers as well, where you might want to try an extension called uBlock Origin.
