The popularity of Crypto Currencies have been exploding like crazy because of which many hackers installs malicious codes into their website with the help of Javascript APIs that hijacks browsers to start mining without your consent and using your system resources.

Opera have introduced a crypto currency mining blocker called "NoCoin" in its Opera 50 RC which can be enabled and disable in the preference setting. It is however in beta version and is the first ever browser to have crypto-currency mining protection.

We hope Chrome and Firefox browsers will follow respectively.
