JACKPOTS: A Chrome Extension for Blocking Cryptojacking
JACKPOTS is a free Chrome extension developed by beetreeear that aims to protect users from browser-based cryptojacking. Cryptojacking is a malicious activity where hackers use a website visitor's computing power to mine cryptocurrency without their knowledge or consent. With the increasing popularity of cryptocurrencies, cryptojacking has become a significant concern for internet users.
This extension works by utilizing a list of blacklisted URLs to compare and scan websites for any signs of cryptojacking. By blocking access to these blacklisted URLs, JACKPOTS effectively prevents users from unknowingly participating in cryptojacking activities. Additionally, the extension provides CPU monitoring for websites that are not on the blacklist. This double detection approach ensures a more secure browsing experience for users.
JACKPOTS is a valuable tool for those who want to protect their devices and browsing activities from cryptojacking attacks. By actively blocking and monitoring potential threats, this extension offers peace of mind and enhances the overall security of Chrome users.
