Faucets really safe?

[PEDROMAP]

Hi everyone

Sorry for the newbie question, im kinda new to the crypto currency world.
I have started to do claims from faucets of diferent coins sending them to microwallets like faucethub.
The problem is that in some faucets sites, i see that my gpu starts to work more then i m used to see in normal sites, like Moon faucets or Bonus Bitcoin, they are just examples, IS THIS USUAL??

Thanks

Some owner, put mine scrip on their faucet idk that was for what, but i see it's for mine some bits ass you "user" who use their web then they use your PC to mine for them.

it's not usual for me, just block that web and never come back there, some faucet like freebitco put their "mine way" in different url, so you can mine with that faucet and not at all.

First of all, I think you mean CPU, not GPU. And yes, it's pretty normal nowadays. Faucets have miner script code included which used to mine Monero with CPU of users. It's just a method of website monetizing. On Faucethub, freebitco.in and Moon faucets you can choose to turn on or turn off miner if you want. But many faucets don't giver warning about running miner script. If want block all these miner scripts, you can use extensions for browsers, such as No Coin. Some antivirus also block these miners.

Just added the extension No Coin to my Chrome Browser, but even when i open bitcointalk it sends a warning telling me it has detected a coin miner , are this mining scipts so spread???

Sometimes it's not the faucet browser mining but the ads...
I stopped using one advertiser just because the cpu spiked to 100% with the ads actice. It sucked because it was a really well paying advertiser.

Can you tell us which advertiser? So others could know and decide whether to avoid or continue with them

Thanks

I hate to be the one pointing fingers, but support never answered my tickets...
It was AdsTour.
Good ads, good pay but I couldn’t keep the ads up because of cpu’s Going to 100% for some reason. I don’t know why, it might just have been poor ad coding?
Good to know: it is possible to dial down the miners so you as a visitor won’t even notice it’s there. Publishers are just greedy dialing it up to 11.

I had the same problem like yours with AdsTour and had since remove it just one day after trying it out.
