No coin is a tiny browser extension aiming to block coin miners such as Coinhive


New technology for virtual currency mining allows webmasters to profit from their sites without displaying ads to visitors, using their computer processors to mine these virtual currencies. The first site to test this new service is the site of the famous Torrent The Pirate Bay.

Although the system has been published for only 24 hours as a test, many people have denounced the move and have justified it. As we all know, mining is a cumbersome process that uses a lot of computer resources and can cause hardware crashes. These are among the disadvantages of this method of generating profits.

Fortunately, there is a solution if you do not want your computer to be used as a mining platform. Swiss programmer Rafael Keramidas has found a way to prevent this new service from working on your computer by adding a simple browser called "No Coin", Which can be downloaded from the link below the post.

The system works effectively as an ad blocker, but only for this new tool, which prevents the service from capturing the resources of the computer and thus prevent mining.
