Suddenly your CPU is loaded 100%, the fan goes crazy for some reason and your battery is discharging directly into the eyes. All of this may be an indication that someone is using your computer for mining cryptocurrency. Sometimes mining can continue after you first visited the site. But we, as the only major browser with an integrated adblocker is an integrated solution that will not allow mining scripts to use the resources of your computer”.
