Leader RedBaird Posted February 21, 2018 Leader Share Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) This appeared on an Opera updates page that opened for me.I don't really know if this really a valid test or just an "always use Opera" sort of thing. I will have to try it with my other browsers, via Private-Incognito type modes.https://cryptojackingtest.com1) I just tried it with IE 11 and the test-page said "protected", BUT my Norton AV said that it blocked a intrusion attempt by a a JSCoinminer site and a coinhive IP.2) Tested on Chrome and Norton said that it blocked a JSCoinminer site before I even pressed "start" for the test...which said that my Chrome is "protected."3) Tested on Edge and got the same as #2 above.I guess that my test is not valid because of the "interference" from Norton AV. BTW, I had used a free-proxy each time so that they could not connect my tests via my IP.4) I ran the test on Opera and Norton did not react at all. The result was also "protected". That might imply that my IE, Chrome and Edge are not internally protected." Other desktop users overall test results "78.5% Protected21.5% Not protected ++ Finished testing after Xernicus had replied below...

Xernicus Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I'll have to test it with basic Win Defender. Firefox failed, but I saw no real noticeable added resource consumption. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TulsaGeoff Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Test passed with normal Firefox 58.0.2 (64-bit) and uBlock Origin plugin. I highly recommend uBlock Origin regardless of your browser. Also running Comodo Firewall 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
