Google announced it is pulling cryptocurrency mining extensions from its Chrome Web Store April 2 after “90%” failed to comply with its rules.

In a blog post, extensions platform product manager James Wagner said that the move was in response to analysis of malicious “cryptojacking” present in extensions.

The term refers to when users downloading an extension of any sort unwittingly start mining cryptocurrency without their consent.

“Over the past few months, there has been a rise in malicious extensions that appear to provide useful functionality on the surface, while embedding hidden cryptocurrency mining scripts that run in the background,” Wagner claims.

While formerly allowing cryptocurrency mining extensions that mined as their sole purpose, Google will now ban new candidates from entering the Web Store and remove existing ones by June.

Only one in ten extensions involved in mining adhere to Chromium’s policies on disclosure, according to Wagner.

“Unfortunately, approximately 90% of all extensions with mining scripts that developers have attempted to upload to Chrome Web Store have failed to comply with these policies, and have been either rejected or removed from the store,” he adds.

June also marks the start of Google’s other, more controversial cryptocurrency-related ban, that referring to cryptocurrency advertisements, which will disappear from Google Adwords.

Karamihan naman ng mga crypto-mining extensions na nakalagay sa Chrome Web Store ay puro cloud-mining at karamihan din doon puro scam (e.g. Coinhive) kaya parang hindi siya big deal kung i-ban man nila yan o hindi. Ang isa lang talagang big deal na gagawin nila ay yung pagban sa cryptocurrency ads sa kanilang search engine. Just imagine, inaallow nila yung mga ads na related sa gambling, pornography, alcoholic beverages, etc. pero yung ads about sa crypto ay balak nilang i-ban. Iba din, di ba?

Totoo po kaya itong balitang ito? Nagsisimula pa lang naman ako mukhang hindi din malayo na i-ban nila ang mga share at re-tweet ng mga cryptocurrency post sa facebook at twitter.

halos lahat naman ng crypto mining extensions na nakalagay sa Chrome Web Store ay pawang cloud mining lamang at halos lahat rin dito ay puro scammer. so walang problema kung tuluyan na nila i ban ang mga yan.

For me wala naman itong magiging masamang epekto sa cryptocurrency market kaya yung mga nag papanic nanaman diyan na baka bumagsak ang price ng market ng cryptocurrency mag isip isip muna, mas gusto ko pa nga na ginawa ng google ito kasi karamihan ng mining extensions hindi worth it and yung iba nga may mga script na mag aallow na makapag mine sila gamit yung pc or device ng hindi nalalaman ng user. Pero para sakin kahit iban or tanggalin nila yung mga extensions na yan, pwede parin yan magamit ng mga tao by downloading it sa ibang site then gamitin sa google chrome so parang wala rin silbi. Yung mga gumagamit din niyan tigilan niyo na kasi wala kayong mapapala diyan.

Ang maeepektuhan lang nito yung mga umaasa na kumita sa chrome mining at lalo na ang manghihinayang dito yung mga naka refer ng maraming gusto mag mine im sure ma wawalan talaga sila dahil dito...
Tsaka napaka spam na talaga kitang kita na halos sa google pati ang pag angat nila sa rankings dahil sa spam links..
Kahit nga dito sa forum eh nag popost sila ng referal links kahit na bawal.

Anyway kung isa ka sa nag mamine using chrome mining extension i suggest na lang sayu na mag mine ka ng XMR using your own PC at ibenta sa mga exchanges ang problema lang wala kang referals.

Sa tingin ko dapat lang talagang alisin ang mga cryptomining extensions dahil ginagamit yan ng mga may-ari ng script para iexploit ang system ng ating computer.  Isipin mo, nagagamit ang mga resources ng ating computer at naglalag ang ating system ng hindi natin namamalayan.  Bukod dito ay tumataas pa ang kunsumo ng ating kuryente dahil power hungry ang pagenable ng ating cpu core o di kaya gpu para magmina.  Sa halip na 10% lang ang ating nagagamit ay nagiging 100% dahil sa mga plug-ins na miner.

Isa ito sa pinakauna kong naisip matapos ilabas ang balita tungkol sa pag-ban ng crypto-ads, bakit nga kaya? Mas malaki ba ang bayad kaya hindi natatanggal ang ibang ads na di hamak namang tunay na kasiraan?
