Google's Latest Ban - Mining Extensions From Chrome Store
As of yesterday, no new cryptomining extensions are being accepted, and existing extensions will be deleted by late July!
Chrome extensions that allow Crypto mining will no longer be allowed thanks to this latest ban.
According to Chrome, " approximately 90% of all extensions with mining scripts that developers have attempted to upload to Chrome Web Store have failed to comply with these policies, and have been either rejected or removed from the store." - 90% no wonder why they have decided to get rid of all of them!!

I don't like what google is doing. Everyone knows that they are the number 1 so they should lead in the right direction. This is definitely not the right path for cryptocurrency so we need to stand up and fight back. Who is with me on this?
This seems to be only aimed at Chrome Extensions that mine. NOT all crypto mining.
So I don't really see this as a bad thing at all.
