Top security web browser plugins

Plugins that you should have installed to browse internet safely. Of course you don't need to install them all. One java script blocker and one ad blocker and one privacy/tracker blocker is enough. On the list you can find best plugins for Chrome/Firefox/Opera. It is also good to have VirusTotal plugin installed to scan files before download.

What is MinerBlock?

The extension uses two different approaches to block miners. The first one is based on blocking requests/scripts loaded from a blacklist, this is the traditional approach adopted by most ad-blockers and other mining blockers. The other approach which makes MinerBlock more efficient against cryptojacking is detecting potential mining behaviour inside loaded scripts and kills them immediately. This makes the extension able to block inline scripts as well as miners running through proxies.
